Friday Egg: Catherine Wheel

Batik eggshell colorful stained glass windows

I feel like COLOR today! This design is based on a wagon wheel design from Japanese Chiyogami paper. I have done this design before in grays, black and white (see it here) but it has been a while. I recently sold the emu egg version I did of this egg...

Etched Emu Eggshell in Wagon Wheel Chiyogami Design


and felt like revisiting the design. Using bright colors changes the meaning and feeling of the wagon wheel design, making it festive and fun, spinning and twirling. It reminded me of the mental image I got when I was reading a book as a child and they talked about a Catherine Wheel

So I present to you my version of a Catherine Wheel! Happy Friday!
