eggses

I finished 14 pysanky in the past few weeks.

Neurotically staying home unless invited out, which is chronically ineffective.

Sooooo, with all this copious free time, I've managed to get almost back into a gym schedule, and, dyed a buttload of eggs.

By request, I brought the eggs to the office.

One of my coworkers raises chickens! I thought I asked him months ago if he had any extra eggs, especially white ones, and he flaked. Guess it doesn't stick until you see the Pysanky. Apparently, he's been saving some goose eggs for a while (possibly too long, we'll see) for Pysanky. I may get fresh, white, free-range (e.g., usually stronger-shelled) eggs in exchange for getting crazy with a goose egg... and letting him nab a finished Pysanky for every n chicken eggs.

Thanks to that dang brown=local=fresh campaign that anyone raised around here can recite from memory, it's hard to find grocery store white eggs with strong enough shells. (Non-"hippy" eggshells tend to be too weak. "hippy" eggs are brown, to go with the brown rice and the brown bread, I guess.) I habitually call M an egg-racist because she insists on white eggs. She finally did one brown egg. But the colors are so satisfyingly crisp on white eggs. I concede her point. The brown ones rarely sell at craft shows either.

some eggs for bricoleur, (not mine).
and eggs for bricoleur (who likes red).
