storing fragile eggs seems risky.The fragileness isn't as risky as you might think. I've used regular store bought eggs to make Easter pysanky eggs and they've lasted for years. Whole eggs with the insides still in them. Of course, the difference between my dyed eggs and the lady's eggs covered with oil is that hers are meant not to dry out so if they rot then gases may make hers explode.
WOW!! Another Pysanky artist!! Woot! I have been doing it for only a couple of years, but I am finally beginning to gain a little confidence.
Here are some I made for Christmas gifts this last year. I take the pictures before I varnish them.
My first year, I used whole eggs, but I've had a lot of them leak/explode and it is NOT fun to clean up. This time, I just save myself the headaches, and blow them out. Pain.butt, but worth it in the end.
