Friday Egg: Curiology

A goose egg waxed and etched and gilded. The beeswax I use as a resist for the etching has a stickiness that can act in place of the regular gold-leaf adhesive.

    1. Thank you! I apply the wax as usual and then instead of removing it after etching, I applied gold leaf. I will definitely play with this technique in the future!
