Ostrich Egg Art
Original pen & ink
drawings on real ostrich eggs!
Ann has been drawing animals on ostrich eggs for over 20 years. At anywhere
from 6 to 12 eggs per year, that adds up to over 200 eggs! She got
involved
in this unique craft when she worked at the Sacramento
Zoo. Each year, Zoo
staff commission Ann's illustrated ostrich eggs to be used as prizes at
events
and gifts for donors and staff.
Ann accepts private commissions for her ostrich egg art. If
you are interested in ordering your own one-of-a-kind ostrich egg, please contact
Ann for more information. Prices start at $100. Scroll down to see plenty
of samples.

Staff at the Sacramento Zoo commissioned a giraffe egg as a gift to Betty
for her participation in a fund-raiser for the new giraffe barn.
