Embroidered Sleeve

This design was adapted from a diasporan pysanka from a UGS postcard. I've kept the motifs nearly exactly the same, but inverted the color scheme by starting with red, proceeding to black, and then etching back to white. The large amount of white with leading red lines reminded me of Ukrainian embroidery.

Etched Winter Trees

Two experiments of mine with etching back brown chicken eggs. The first was etched with vinegar in several steps to get different shades of brown. The second was a lighter egg dyed several times before a final etch.
