Holder for egg decoration

The client’s hobby is decorating empty goose eggs, but a stroke has left her without adequate grip in her left hand to hold the egg while painting it with her right hand.

A wooden stand was made, which incorporated a knitting-needle pivoted at one end of the stand. To fit the egg, the needle is inclined upwards, and the egg is threaded onto it via the holes in its ends through which the empty egg was “blown” by the supplier. A light plastic spring and a moveable collar hold the egg in place, and the needle is then lowered to the horizontal. The egg can be rotated on the needle as the decoration proceeds.

The client can use this device to paint, write etc.
