When I get time, I will post pictures of the process this week. :)
Basically what you do is start our with your egg. Non boiled. Room temperature.
I use white eggs as the example. So anything that you want white, you apply the wax to seal in the colour.
Then you go to Yellow (working your way to darker colours). Anything that you want yellow, you cover with wax.
Then Orange. anything you want orange, you cover with wax. so now you have 3 layers of wax. You just keep building and building.
When you are happy with the design, you melt off all the wax. I do mine over a flame, with a soft cloth or paper towel. some do them in a very low oven. I have had some explode....that is enough to make you cry...lol
I then use a varnish. If i blow them out, I just put a hole in the top, so that I can hang them.
It is very time consuming, but we love doing them!!
