Wilber has been carving eggs since the early '60s. She starts with a blown egg, outlines a design plan on the egg with a pencil and egg-drawing machine, then uses a cement-like substance and a dental tool to create these ornate carvings.

At times, Wilber combines other design elements including decoupage techniques and adding tiny figures or flowers inside the eggs.
