The first thing one must do when
creating an egg is pcik a design. Designs can be found in
various places. Look in books, on postcards and even
here. We should have a few designs on this page very
soon. Try to find a design that is in sync with your
abilities. If this is your first egg, checkthe color
list, and use only colors that are not flagged advanced.
Also, if this is your first,try to keep the level of
intracacy down. Remeber: you dont have to make the egg
exactlylike the picture. You can add your own features
and take some away.
Once you pick a design, draw the
main features on the egg LIGHTLY with your pencil. Try to
avoid filling in the details at this time. You do that
when you apply wax. To get the wide bars that
strecharound the whole egg, use your wide rubber band.
During the entire proccess, try
not to touch the the egg with your bare hands too much.
The oils in your hands can make the dye not work
correctly. Try to hold it with a tissue as muchas
possible. Also keep a pile of kleenex on the table under
your egg at all times, to avoid breakage if you
accidently drop the egg.
