Too little time

Years ago I took a workshop making the Polish Easter eggs, Pisanki.  The most difficult part was actually blowing out the raw egg.  Those eggs are long gone, but I still have the pens which were used to apply the wax.

Phone interruption. Lost Web Site Info.

After the pattern is painted on with the melted wax, the egg is dipped in the lightest color, allowed to dry, painted again & dipped again,  and so and so ending with the darkest color.  If you don't know your color combinations you soon learn.   I like the one-color look of those above.  Once the coloring has been finished, the wax needs to be removed.  

Wouldn't they make an interesting Table Runner for this season -- egg shapes with appliqued design on them and then they are appliqued to the runner's ground (green for grass? and for spring)?

Joining in common quilter's wail: Too little time; too many ideas.
