Crosshatching Madness Egg yellow/orange/light red/green/aquamarine/light blue/dark red
This egg was directly inspired by Hacksaw's
comment about how he liked the intricacies of the crosshatching.
Had I ever just crosshatched the entire egg?
In this egg, I tried for the classic 8 pointed star pattern
that is usually your first design.
Only I did it twice. The first is in orange/light red/light blue.
The second is 90 degrees offset in yellow/green/aquamarine.
Since this egg was already iNsAnE, and nearly entirely covered in
wax, I took the risk. I dropped it in the red dye for a long time.
It actually come out to be pretty much the dark red I coveted from class.
I suspect that too much out of order dying can eventually dull
up the colors. However, I wouldn't mind the dark red being a little darker.
Dyes aren't hard to replace.
