With lace-like etchings and carvings made with a hand drill, the decorative egg art of Hungarian artist Tunde Csuhaj is bringing a different spin on an ancient handicraft popular at Easter. As in neighbouring countries like Ukraine and Romania, Hungary boasts a long tradition of egg painting as part of Easter celebrations. "If I make a mistake and the egg breaks, well that is painful for both me and the egg," she added. Csuhaj's artfully decorated Easter eggs made of goose eggs. Through the years, Csuhaj developed her own style, etching and carving eggshells with a hand drill.
