Planetary objects caught up in an invisible net of gravity. This is a goose egg. I started with a pencilled sketch on the egg, indicating where the circles would be and then where the net would fall. I dyed the egg gray and waxed the net, avoiding the areas where I wanted the net to be a different color, like the black net over the yellow circle below. Then I went through two different yellows and black before etching the eggshell back down to white with vinegar. I like how the etching caused some bleed out from the darker colors into the white areas. You can see the feathering around a black circle in the picture second down from here. It looks a bit like the net and the circle are merging, disintegrating into each other. Not static, nor caught in the net forever!
