Matthew Webb (mtwebb) > The party was at Bena's.  She had warned me that the plants in her yard were on death's door step.  Such a liar!  There were green plants thriving everywhere; carnivorous sundews, flowing wisteria, orchids...
Matthew Webb (mtwebb) > The outside setup had two tables filled with pens, wax, and alcohol lamps.
Matthew Webb (mtwebb) > The pens have these small metal funnels that you fill with wax and hold over a flame to heat then draw your design.
Matthew Webb (mtwebb) > Then dip the egg into dye to color everywhere there is no wax.   Working from light to dark you can layer multiple colors.
Matthew Webb (mtwebb) > I did not get there until 4, but Kurt, his parents and his daughter Lena clearly were adept at egg dying.
Matthew Webb (mtwebb) > Here I am working on my first egg.   The work was slow going.  I should have arrived earlier in the day.
Matthew Webb (mtwebb) > After the second dyeing in blue I have a green egg.  Once I remove the wax there will be a yellow line with a white center.   In the bg, you can see the wax block and the 'pen'
Matthew Webb (mtwebb) > Finished egg in one hand, and a matching beer in the other.  I'd call that success.
Matthew Webb (mtwebb) > Brett with his prize winning eggs.
