I decided that this year I wanted to do something amazing with Easter eggs and try drawing on them with wax like the beautiful Russian and Polish eggs that I keep seeing on the internet (...Pinterest). So I lit a candle and got some eggs and then discovered that without proper tools, drawing on eggs with wax is really hard! I ended up using a knife and made some simple designs on three eggs. They were far less beautiful and amazing than I had pictured, but until I figure out where to get wax egg drawing tools they were the best I could manage!
Then I dyed them along with all the regular, not wax decorated eggs and here is how they turned out:
I think they are not bad for a first attempt and I definitely learned a thing or two. Next year I plan to be much better prepared! Here are the rest of our eggs:
I hope you all had a Happy Easter and enjoyed dying eggs of your own!

Wales
I just got back from an amazing wedding in Wales. Not only was the wedding and everyone there beautiful, but Wales itself is lovely and full of sheep! I will have some new art work to share tomorrow, but for today here is the beautiful beach in Anglesey:
sandy beach full of weird seaweed stuff and lots of tide pools
sheep!
