A brown chicken egg etched and dyed with a pretty rosy pink color. Traditional design, contemporary colors. I like how this one turned out, and am always a fan of the diagonal band. It adds a lot of dynamic energy to the design. I started with a brown egg, waxed all the brown lines, then etched it down to white so that I could get a really clear and bright pink. Sometimes a brown egg will give the dye a brownish or yellowish cast, good for some things, but I was interested in bright this week. Waxed the white lines next, then dipped in Rose Red and waxed, then dipped the final color of black.
Happy Friday!

Katy, I love the coloring and shading effects you achieve on your eggs. Very nice!
Thanks! I really like how this one turned out - the rose color from Pysanky USA is a very pretty foil to the natural brown of the chicken egg.
