Oh, thanks! it is a batik -like wax resist technique and I got into chickens because I wanted better canvases LOLThat's crazy about the snakes you have! ....and had to do that to your coops! ....mongoose.... that or get some peacocks..... My barn is loaded with barn swallow nests...it's neat! Boy they really seem to hit the insects, though they don't get any where close to them all.....lol. I must say, I had no idea what pysanky was until you started that thread....pretty cool stuff to be able to paint on an egg like that!.
