Duck Egg Artisans (Cong Ty TNHH
MTV)
   As part of our tour to see the Cu Chi
Tunnels, our first stop was at a factory where the disabled (many of whom, it is
said, due to the effects of Agent Orange) use duck-egg ‘bits’ as an art medium.
We were able to watch the talented workers at their various
stations.
   Picture of ladies,
our guide and a lovely gaggle of duck-egg
ladies.
 The Production
Process Board.
 Materials – duck
egg shells.
   The ground
shells go from rough pepper size to fine powder. A sprinkle design and more ladies in a
breeze.
 This lady was in charge of red tunics.
   A run on ladies in the breeze.
  This man was cutting a shell with very intricate
results.
   I watched this lady for ages as she
painstakingly pressed shells in
place.
  The polishing
end.
 Lovely blue tunic for a
change.
   Getting a block
ready, high sheen and very fine
sandpaper.
  This chap so wanted his picture
taken, he wrinkled his eyes in glee, showed me his finished
picture and pointed to the Last Supper he had
just finished. We ran our fingers over the pictures and found them as smooth as
glass.
 We bimbled around the shop where no photographs were allowed, I took this one
before we entered. We found exquisite triptych’s, vases, tissue box covers,
bottle stands and any amount of beautiful items.
 Sadly, time to leave this fascinating factory.
ALL IN ALL
SIMPLY GORGEOUS
AMAZING
