goose egg pysanky
Today I started working on my first goose egg pysanky. So far I’ve drawn a curved design in wax on the egg, which was initially dyed red/rubine. The curved design is repeated around the egg four times. I then outlined the curved shapes (after dying the egg in dark red) and then I dyed the egg magenta (producing a mauve-purple color). Tomorrow I will finish filling in the curved shapes and background with other colors. This goose egg is quite a bit larger than a standard chicken egg (pictured in the background of the photo).
