Niece R's very first attempt. She wrote her name on the egg in large letters.

One of mine. The green dye spotted something horrible.

Easter2007-C


Probably Niece R's favorite of all her eggs.

Easter2007-D

Niece R and I spent an evening dyeing eggs for Easter. This is one I did. The colors suck.

Makeup Egg

Today I did something I haven't done in years. I gave away an egg. A big gesture was called for -- I said some things I regret saying to a colleague, and I needed to mend the fence.
I miss the egg already. It's the yellow one pictured below. There is a reason I don't give them away, a reason I have about eight dozen in my closet.
But I'm sure M will appreciate it, and I know she'll understand the thought behind it.

Didn't record the process on this egg, and I completed it over a week ago. No idea what's happened here.

Didn't record what I did to this, and now I'm experiencing regret. Look at how great the color is!


Hit with blo-pen blaster in neon colors (yellow, green, orange) before wax removal.
