The process begins by sanding the egg for a couple of hours until it is silky smooth. Some Pysanky artists skip this step and will use the egg as is, but I feel that the extra work is worth it. Sanding removes all the bumps and grooves and makes it so that the pores are barely noticeable. It also reveals a deeper, chaulkier layer of the egg that will allow the dyes to take more evenly and with greater intensity.
