** Q: Are these real eggs?
A: Yes, each piece is carved on a real goose egg that has been carefully hollowed, cleaned, and treated. The natural eggshell provides a unique canvas that no manufactured material can replicate.

** Q: How fragile are egg carvings? Can they survive shipping?
A: While delicate, our egg carvings are surprisingly durable when properly handled. Each piece is meticulously packaged in custom foam-lined boxes, and we've successfully shipped thousands worldwide. With normal care, they will last indefinitely.

** Q: What kind of photos work best for egg carving portraits?
A: High-contrast photos with clear outlines work best, as the carving technique relies on light and shadow. Profile shots and images with strong lighting translate beautifully into eggshell art.

** Q: How long does an egg carving last? How do I care for it?
A: With proper care—keeping it out of direct sunlight, avoiding moisture, and dusting gently with a soft brush—your egg carving will last for generations. The protective coating helps preserve the delicate surface.

** Q: Can I request changes after seeing the digital proof?
A: Absolutely. You can request up to two rounds of revisions on the digital proof to ensure the design is exactly what you want before we begin carving.

**Q: What makes egg carving different from other portrait art forms?
A: Egg carving is one of the rarest and most delicate art forms. The natural translucency of the eggshell creates a beautiful glow when backlit, and the knowledge that each piece is carved on a real egg makes it a true conversation piece. It's a unique blend of artistry and natural beauty.

**Q: Do you offer lighted bases for display?
A: Yes, we offer optional LED light bases that illuminate your egg carving from within, showcasing the intricate details and the natural translucency of the eggshell.

**Q: Can you carve multiple people or a scene into one egg?
A: Yes, our artists can create complex compositions with multiple subjects. The size of the egg limits the level of detail, so we'll advise on the best approach for your specific request.
