broken beauty

i have quite a nice egg collection. it is made up of found, bought, and gifted eggs–both wild and domesticated. which means i also have quite a nice collection of broken egg shells as well.  the eggs seem to get more and more fragile as they age. so eventually they crack and gradually work themselves into pieces with the lightest touches or the gentlest jostling. but as a lover of imperfect beauty, am in love with my broken shells almost as much as my whole ones.
