    That is so tiny and beautiful, so intricate! Just imagine all the work that must have gone into it, and into all of the original antique eggs as well! I’m working on behalf of a site called Positively Cleveland, and right now we’re getting the word out about an upcoming exhibit at the Cleveland Museum of Art. It’s called “Artistic Luxury: Fabergé, Tiffany, Lalique”, and will feature exquisite examples of each artist’s work. If you get a chance the exhibit is well worth a trip to see these beautiful treasures in person. You can find more information at http://www.clevelandblings.com. Additionally, Cleveland has many other destinations including the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame: http://www.positivelycleveland.com/visiting/things_to_do/cleveland_rocks/rock_hall. There’s something for everyone and lots to explore!

    I hope I haven’t overstepped my bounds by leaving this comment. I’m just trying to get the word out about this amazing exhibit so as many people as possible can have the experience of seeing this art with their own eyes. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to E-Mail me. I’d love to hear from you :)
