re: #239 klys (maker of Silmarils)
If I’d gone with real eggs this would have worked less well. >.>
Actually, real eggs dry out over time. As in months or years. They can kind of explode in the intervening period, especially if it is hot, which is suboptimal, but I made pysanky many, many years ago and didn’t blow the eggs first. It worked out fine. Mostly.
