Album Info:
Prior to decorating eggs, these are washed with warm water and vinegar, boiled slowly not to break their shell, and covered with a thin bed of bee wax. Then the eggs decorated using special tools, such as: goose feather, the "chisita" (special tool, made of a thin metal pipe, with very small diameter; a pig hair is pulled through it) is used for "writing" the motive and the "brush" (a tool that is used for covering the larger spaces - thick lines, points etc.). Vegetal colours obtained from sweet apple peal, leaves and flowers, hip rose peal, are used.

Bonjour Corina, thank you for your invitation to your Easter album and this wonderful dedicated picture for me... You're very kind and I appreciate so much. I also take a look at your other albums and your work is so spectacular and interesting, you're really a great artist. Presently I'm very busy too, but I will come back soon. Thank you again, Marielle
