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.
