Friday Egg

Pysanka Brown Egg with Bird on Branch Design


Today I will show you an egg that I like so much that I am not selling to anyone.  This egg is an unvarnished brown egg, with a celadon green and white background.  When I first looked at the finished egg, I realized that if I put a shiny finish on it, it would lose some of it's beauty.  Normally I like a little shine and glitz, but the large blocks of quiet color demanded a more natural finish.  When I was doing my experimentation with gilding, I decided to gild just one bird.  I think it makes for a very special egg.  I hope you enjoy it.
