more progress on goose egg
I made some more progress on the red goose egg pysanky started yesterday. I drew a purple sawtooth border and filled in half of the curved shapes with color. Unfortunately when I was cleaning and scrubbing the egg after the purple dye (to return it to white), some of the wax lines started to chip at the edges. I’m not sure exactly why this happened. This goose egg is slightly rough in texture, so the wax may not be adhering as well in some places. Or maybe I just scrubbed too much. I decided to re-dye the egg red and draw those lines again. The chipped lines may still show in the finished egg, but hopefully not too much.

it’s coming along very nicely, i like how the purple/reds are close to each other in hue/value, but the green circles stand out. they kind of look like indian clothing that has tiny mirrored surfaces/jewels, do you know what i’m talking about?
