Pysanka (Easter egg): workshop

Published at www.artdekor.blogspot.com on 19.04.2010 

These Easter eggs I created in quite unsual way. I used food colorings in order my family could eat them :).

But as you know, food dyes are very unstable and easily rub off. That is why at first I just dyed eggs in a color. Then I painted contour ornameters by wax. And after that wiped the whole egg with vinegar, which corroded the background paint to show outline drawing. Interestingly, that by controlling corroding different Easter eggs' saturation can be achieved.
