My great aunt tried to teach me how to blow out eggs,
to decorate them for Easter.
It hurt my ears too much, I couldn't do it.

Years later, I came up with an idea for decorating eggs.
Use Scotch tape and twist it as you wrap the egg.
Dunk it in one color for awhile,
take it out and pat it dry a bit, soaking up the extra dye that remains in the folds
of the tape.

Remove the tape, apply more tape in the same twisty fashion, and then
put the egg into a different color.

I had the best results using three different colors.

It's almost like batik, that is how they look when they are finished.

This egg is beautiful, I wonder how they did it.
