Now for something less successful . . .

The original egg was magenta with white lines. I couldn't figure out what to do with it, so I waxed more lines, vinegared it, then dyed it Dylon Tahiti Rose followed immediatly by Rit Gray. I've also hit it with a yellow fabric BloPen, trying to get more color interest, but obviously failed. It's a mess. I need to work with it more, but can't figure out what to do. Part of me wants to add gold to it, and go super-tacky, but part of me feels there is actually a great egg here. It needs distressing, but I'm not sure exacty what to distress. Must think about this.







(update, 11/25) Added gold, but I'm not happy.

I can't leave well enough alone. Finished this one off (finally) with black acrylic paint. I was going to use gold or silver, but at the last second reached for black insteda. I'm happy I did. It's now interesting, if not overwhelmingly beautiful.
