* Can you guess what hobby it is ?
The hobby is carving eggshells.
My father has an unusual hobby;
carving eggshells. As everyone knows,
eggshells are very fragile. My dad can
make beautiful pieces of art from empty
eggshells. It’s amazing!
He started the hobby five years ago after
a trip to the US where he saw some
carved eggshells in an art gallery. My
father did not go to class to learn how to
carve. He learned everything from the
Internet.
Some people say that this hobby is
difficult and boring, but it isn’ t. All you
need is time. It may take two weeks to
complete one shell. I find this hobby
interesting because carved eggshells
are unique gifts for family and friends. I
hope that in the future he’ ll teach me
how to do eggshell carving.
