This is has been the most challenging eggcarving, doing a portrait on an ostrich eggshell. I have to carve it on the ligh areas (working in the darkeness with a little ligh inside of the shell), doing the opposite when doing a drawing with pencil over paper. It's tricky for the brain to do that because usually you pay attention to the dark areas when drawing.
When I finished I showed it to the aunt of the "model" and she thought that I just had glued the picture over the eggshell, she got puzzled when I turned off the light to show her that it was carved.
