Mirjana and Edvard Kirbus

Mirjana and Edvard Kirbus of Serbia have opened the Slamarska Workshop dedicated to the beauty of straw art in their original ornaments, stationary and contemporary designs utilizing classical straw techniques. Unlike the flattened straw technique found on straw decorated eggs elsewhere, Mirjana and Edvard Kirbus add textural elements to their eggs; plaited straw, quilled straw, straw thread.  Their sculptural eggs are cradled in straw.
