“It takes some 20 hours to decorate such an egg,” an artist said. “The ornament is very intricate. I use ostrich eggs because their surface is bigger and there is more room for the imagination.”
Many decorators use floral patterns or paint animals. When it comes to animals, the story gets complicated. The egg surface is uneven. “Sometimes you start painting a hare and end up with an elephant,” one artist said.
Easter eggs from all across Germany and foreign countries are on display.
