In the delicate art of egg painting, the artist begins with a raw white egg. Using heated beeswax, designs are drawn onto the shell, and the egg is placed in a series of dye baths. The design is progressive with additions after each dye color. When the design is completed, the wax is removed, polyurethane protection is added, and the raw egg is blown from the shell.
