Giant egg.

It would be fun to do one of our cow and donate for the society fundraiser. But I don't get white eggs..

Those are fabulous!!! I got my idea from sonew123 when she was selling some olive eggs in an auction. So, not my idea.
dmiravalle - I got some jewelry making pieces called "bells" and hot glued them on. You also need to buy pieces with loops on them to string the hanging material on.
I loved doing these and am hoarding the banty eggs for myself and will also keep all the extra large and jumbos and any odd shaped ones too. I AM selfish.

My kids did a bunch for 4-H with our club for December.

Wow, amazing.

Thanks! I've been making them for years, it's a dye process called pysanky (Ukranian). I always take pics because I give most of them away to friends and family during the holidays. I actually have some goose eggs on pre-order in hopes of getting some future big white egg layers! Though I've read that hatching geese is much more difficult than hatching chicks - guess I'll find out!

I know some one here who makes those type of eggs, isn't it a layering process?

Yeah, it's a wax relief process. you start with the lightest colors of dye and go darker each time, covering each color with wax after you apply it so that it doesn't take up any more dye. When finished dying, the egg looks like a big waxy, clumpy mess and then you slowly melt and wipe off the wax to find a beautiful egg underneath!

Sounds fun and messy gotta love it! Maybe I should stick to spinning!!!!!! Might never get the wax off!
