  13. In the process of batik (wax-resist) the egg is dyed in a series of dyebaths, beginning with the lightest color and ending with the darkest.

  14. The lightest color of dye is yellow. We dye the egg and then write with wax on the yellow egg.

  15. We add a bit of green color to the egg with a brush or Q-tip, and then write dots

  16. The next dye color is orange; we dye the egg and write on the orange shell.
