Artistic Expression: The use of decoupage on this ostrich egg shell transforms it into a stunning piece of art. Decoupage is the art of decorating an object by adhering paper cutouts or images onto its surface, followed by layers of varnish or lacquer to create a smooth, durable finish. The process involves carefully selecting and cutting images, then layering them onto the egg shell to form a cohesive, intricate design. The Big 5 animals are captured in a dynamic and detailed manner, showcasing the artist's expertise and dedication to preserving African wildlife through artistic expression. This egg is not only a decoration but also a celebration of the vibrancy of African culture and the beauty of its wild animals.

What is Decoupage and How is it Done?
Decoupage is a decorative art technique where cut-out paper images are glued onto a surface and then sealed with layers of varnish or lacquer. The process often involves multiple layers to create a smooth, glossy finish that makes the design appear as though it is painted directly onto the object. In this case, the artist first selects images of the Big 5 animals and carefully cuts them out. They are then adhered to the ostrich egg shell, carefully arranging them to form a detailed and balanced design. After the images are placed, several layers of protective varnish are applied, giving the egg a polished, long-lasting finish.

This hand-painted, decoupaged ostrich egg shell is not just a beautiful work of art, but also a reminder of the majesty of Africa's wildlife and the creative spirit of its artists.
