Friday Egg: Simple Design, Muted Colors

Ukrainian Egg Brown Chicken Egg Etched with Simple Design, Muted Colors Pink and Blue


A simple egg for Friday Egg this week. I started with a brown chicken egg, waxed and then etched with vinegar to the cream colored background. Then it sat in my box of eggs in progress for a couple of years while I worked on other things and then the day came when it landed in my hand and I finished it! I dipped it in Dark Red very briefly for a lighter and more muted raspberry color, then in Patina. I'm in love with that color right now and want to paint my front door with it! I like how this little egg turned out, with the muted New Mexican colors looking a little sun-baked piece of pottery.

Happy Friday!
