| I'm not sure there's a whole lot I can say about this egg. It actually started out as an interesting experiment for me because it was done by applying wax in a Celtc design on the shell using a traditional tool of Pysanky artists called a "kistka." I had one heck of a time applying the wax evenly as using a kistka requires a good bit of practice. I'm a uniquely patient carver, but I have no time for patience with other things, so I forged ahead. Once the wax was on, I filled the shell with sand to weight it down, plugging the hole with wax. Then I dropped it into hydrochloric acid for one minute, then another. The design, then, is the original thickness of the goose egg, but the whole rest of the shell is very thin. |
