Modern egg master Franc Grom creates eggs which give Ferberge a run for his money. Grom uses a small electric drill to create approximately 2,500 to 3,500 holes in each eggshell. Inspired by traditional Slovenian designs, he has been known to pierce a shell as many as 17,000 times. They’re so fragile and beautiful. Imagine the patience!

[…] Take a look at these eggs made by Franc Grom of Slovenia. He uses a tiny electric drill to bore THOUSANDS of holes in every egg in intricate patterns. The finished pieces are incredible to look at, and probably incredibly delicate. His work is apparently inspired by traditional Slovenian designs, but there are a few eggs that look a bit more modern as well. This has to require an incredibly steady hand and an enormous amount of patience. […]

Completing patterns on the curved surface of an egg is terribly difficult - whether you’re painting, drawing, or drilling holes!
