MICH UPDATE!!!!!

WAX~ what do I need to blow out eggs? Harmony wants to give it a try! do you just dry them or do you have to dip them in something to make them harder or do they stay soft?

I use a 20cc syringe and a 16ga needle (at TSC) with one hole. Blow air up into the egg - very slowly at first. Egg will ooze out. I actually blew out about a dozen yesterday. Rinse til clear with water and syringe. Tear paper toweling into about 1/2x1 in strips, twirl the end into a twist and stick it in the hole. Turn over into cardboard carton with hole and wick down and let dry a day or three.

After they're decorated, you can varnish them to add strength, but you still will always have to walk on eggshells around them.

Oh, the goosy wonderfulness! You're killing me... I want geese, but have decided to wait until my youngest child is bigger - he'll be four Sunday...

forgot to mention that I make my hole with my dremel and diamond dust cone bit. Others carefully use a small drill.
