Here's my first image. I drew the embryos with a 4B graphite pencil on blown out goose eggs.

This is truly a wonderful work of art!

You say pysanka, I say pysanky. LOL This is the whole reason I got chickens in the first place. I got tired of buying eggs from people and the store to do my art work. So I now have around 70 chickens and ducks that keep me supplied with eggs of all sizes. These eggs are hand drawn with wax, then dipped in the lightest color of dye...then more drawing with wax, and dipped in the second lightest color, etc, etc, until you end up with an egg covered with wax. I then take the egg and hold it over the open flame of a candle and wipe away the melting wax bit by bit. It takes around 4-6 hours to do one egg from start to finish. Enjoy!!
