Leona Wollam
 

"I first became interested when a friend talked me 
into a egg class. One egg and I was hooked." 
A member of the Egg Artists of Oregon, Leona 
Wollam has been egging for 3 ½ years. Leona has 
earned her masters in both Filigree and Hand Painted. 
She is currently working on her masters in 
Beaded & Jeweled, Decoupage, and Hand Carved 
through the International Masters Program. She has 
two previous second place wins in two other shows 
she has participated in. She tells us that lately, she 
has been carving emu eggs quite a bit. Leona loves 
butterflies and tells us that her winning egg took a 
couple of days to complete.
"As you can see from the pictures, 
Leona does beautiful work not only with emu eggs,
but with ostrich as well."
