Last night we attended the live auction at Sothebys and happy to report that the Egg Globe raised $25,000. All money benefits The Elephant Family which protects the Asian elephant & Studio in a School which places artists in schools in New York.
We are really pleased, a huge thank you to those who bid!

HAPPY EASTER & PASSOVER everyone.
This is where it all started……………………………
The Egg Projection is worked out on a computer so make sure that the cartography is as correct as possible for the odd shape… we had to figure out how to make sure the gores would stretch beautifully without overlapping or falling short! The paper was then wet and stretched slowly and carefully. Once the world map was perfectly laid and dry, the whole egg was hand painted with the finest watercolours by the lovely Isis.
