Friday Egg: Babel

Friday Egg today comes from a dream I had. I don't remember much except layers and layers of writing and language and the biggest was a sort of brick red. Because it comes from a dream I haven't got much to say about the meaning of it except to say that I named it "Babel". The eggshell itself took the dye in a spotty and interesting way. It was pretty much unprocessed in any way beyond cleaning so the texture really shows is the brick colored layer.

I waxed the first layer on a white goose eggshell then dyed it Brick Red (UGS) and waxed the inner portion of the writing. Next I dyed to egg black (UGS) and wrote one of the two smaller texts, then washed back to white and wrote the other layer of text and dyed it the final color Deep Blue Sea. (PUSA)

Happy Friday!

  1. It's reminds me of ancient runes. Really pretty but also mysterious.
