After a dozen years of flower farming, I, Beth Magnuson, moved both my home and business to the tiny rural community of Bishop Hill, Illinois.

My gardens and the verdant fields of Henry County supply me with both the material and inspiration for the artwork I create and offer for sale. I gather eggs from farm raised fowl and carve the shells into delicate ornaments I describe as Victorian Lace Eggs. I also employ special techniques to marble and etch eggshells. These tiny treasures are available year round and I am pleased to offer a sample to peruse here.

For clients unable to visit my studio, I accept online commissions for everlasting floral arrangements and seasonal wreaths. I draw and cut perfect miniature silhouettes from life and can work from a photo supplied by clients online. These intimate portraits are thoughtful, charming keepsakes, destined to be family heirlooms of tomorrow.
