The collection features a large exhibit of standard size eggs, as well as some that are more unusual
including goose eggs, and some very large ostrich eggs.

Bohdonna explained that she has been making the eggs since learning the craft as a teenager.
The eggs have complicated patterns, symbols and drawings - all of which have a special significance dating back hundreds of years.
The eggs are created using laying technique and bees wax.
