Fancy Old Czech Darning Egg, Inlaid Wood MoMA with tiny pin holes inI find these old inlaid wood darning eggs so pretty, and such satisfying things roll around in one's hand, that I have a hard time resisting them when I find them. And I like that the inlay pattern on this one is not exactly regular or predictable perfectly imperfect. Just nice set on the shelf, maybe in a little egg cup or old wooden goblet, or on the desk to toss around while thinking or a nice thing to start collecting and fill a big bowl with!
