Friday Egg: Taxi!

A little grimy, a touch oversaturated, kinetic, maybe even frenetic. Reminds me of a big city. 

I made this one at the same time I made Senescence. I was exploring overworking an eggshell, just to see what would happen. The colors on this one are vivid, but slightly muddied by overwork. The edges are not as crisp, allowing for some seepage and even overlap of colors. Some of the wax came off during etching or washing back the color which adds another point of interest. 

Happy Friday!
