As part of my daily research for the course I’m currently taking, I must add any source of inspiration that has caught my eye.  I´d like to begin by posting on my new Inspiration category, this lovely video of the Romanian egg painter, Elena Craciunescu,  whose well-known for her beautiful artwork.  As Easter has almost come to an end for 2018, I´d like to share her amazing techniques to produce these wonderful motifs which are inspired in her town´s buildings in Ciocanesti.

It has taken generations to pass this skill onto grandchildren and thankfully it is still respected and villagers maintain this tradition as a source of income.

Using a similar process to batik, layers of wax and dye reveal these fine details.

Check out how it´s done in this short video by National Geographic
