two color pysanky egg
Today I finished applying the wax on the lime green egg that I started yesterday. The pattern was an abstract basket-weave pattern with some variations. It was a good project to practice with the electric kistky. A lot of my wax lines were not exactly straight (and impossible to correct once drawn), but the mistakes and wonky lines mostly blend into the overall design. After I completed the wax application over the lime green egg, I dyed the remaining unwaxed parts turquoise. Then I removed the wax in the oven. It was satisfying to be able to finish an egg in only 2 days.

Wow! That is amazing. It’s really beautiful. I love your eggs - such delicate work. Great job.
Another great egg. I think the lines give the egg character. Perfectly straight lines would look machine made. Yours was touched by human hands.
I have been loving your eggs. Is there an online tutorial of sorts I could check out? It would be great to make some of these for Easter. Thanks and really amazing work.
I think the slight imperfections make the pattern that much more charming. Your patterns never cease to astound me though, I can’t believe you draw all of them by hand
wow! fantastic.
