Egg Index | September: Wild Green |
The Next Egg |
Wild Green Egg yellow/orange/green/aquamarine.
I decided to do some of my own sort of doodling on this egg, esepcially
since it was mainly an exercise is determining color order and the option
of mixing the greens and the oranges. Pysanky Pros seem to
frown upon that. It worked for me.
It soon became evident that the shell was weak and cracking. My attempts
to cover the cracks with beewax were short-term fixes at best - too short to
go much further with the dyes. And we were all impressed that the
teal resulted in such a lush green. The cracking egg seemed doomed.
I decided to quit while I was ahead.
However, I also had to learn a few lessons about photographing the eggs.
Sadly, this egg was inadvertently sacrificed for the cause.
