Where did all the Kaeo eggs end up?

Hey guys,

Would love to see some photos, showing where you put your creations.
I have the bits you gave me, but what did you do with your half?

Send me some pictures :)

Below is a view of poppy's river after the crazy weather this July...

This is the location where I found the first Kaeo egg.

Looking forward to returning to continue the workshop!



The Kaeo eggs are currently stored in my studio in Auckland waiting to dry. Can't wait to return to Kaeo with them to see what's inside each one. 
Below is a photo of Sam's Kaeo egg, one of the kids involved in the workshop.

Kaeo Egg workshop at Whangaroa College


We just had the first workshop with the friday art classes involving year 7, 8, 9 and 10 students. We had an awesome day constructing our own Kaeo eggs!

What are Kaeo Eggs?


Kaeo eggs are geodes found in the river. Some of the students recently visited the Waiare river with their science class and collected some of these geodes. They contain mineral deposits which we think might be Galena, a lead based mineral.
