We used a handmade waxing tool, and rubbed the melted wax off after it had been held over a candle. It was a slow and tedious process and they produced some of the mnost specatular eggs I've ever seen. My drawing abilities were very limited. I had fun and loved doing it too. Yours is so much prettier than mine was. Of course I was just 10 or 11 years old when I did it!Darhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05960683751935834250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8963026736416502396.post-19174157192387690662012-04-04T23:15:12.306-04:002012-04-04T23:15:12.306-04:00It's gorgeous, Karen!

The gift shop is a rainbow of colours! And they sell the most beautiful eggs!

I tried making them too but just don't have a steady enough hand. I have a few from twisted poppy on etsy.
