This will help for reference when drawing the design on the egg. Because of the curved surface of the egg, | find it easier to draw my pattern directly on the egg rather than trying to transfer a pattern. So practice your drawing skills too! CAST OF CHARACTERS These designs are a good example of the variety of personalities you can carve from the basswood goose egg. Use these ideas for your own carvings and see how many others you can come up with. When | come up with a new idea | will usually draw it right on the egg and start carving. Its difficult to transfer pattems to the egg, so it is easier to just practice your The Professor drawing techniques and work out your ideas di- rectly on the egg.
