So I've had this idea since I heard about eggs.  It's basically taking an egg, punching a tiny hole in the bottom, scrambling it to make the yolk looser, and then draining it empty so that you have an egg shell intact.  It's then filled with sand or something similar, and glazed, creating a decorative, somewhat ceremonial egg.  I'm assuming this would be a straightforward operation using egg, sand, glaze, and fuel, with perhaps sand being optional.  After all, a more delicate egg sells more, yes?  Maybe require a glass box as well, since it would get shattered without some protection.  These could be traded away or built into display cases that some mods permit, although I'm likely to make a custom building using them and make a noble's requirement to have a few of these in their room.

Anyways, any thoughts, suggestions, or possible snafu's?

I'm not sure which sort of egg-thing you're thinking of. The ones I know are decorate first, drain after.
Also could require dyes and wax. Very good use of the new stuff we've been given to work with.

I've probably made up my own egg-thing, ignoring any existing egg-thing, but it's not much difference because it'll all happen in one reaction.  Wax instead of glaze is a good idea though.

I think you were mixing the Faberge eggs with Pysanka eggs.

FAUXEDIT: apparently there are also engraved eggs? Weird. Very dwarfy.

[Girlinhat]

More akin to engraved eggs, I suppose.  The idea is you take an egg, empty it of the contents, because those can rot, and then you dip it in acrylic.  It keeps the natural appearance of the egg while toughening it.  For a chicken egg, this is lame.  For a robin's egg, that's a nice shade of blue.  For an exotic sort of cave dragon's purple/black whirled egg, or a magma crab's white and red speckled egg, that can make a unique decoration piece.

it would be cool,
and then dwarf boys could go take some water, split it on a dwarf girl and then, receive an egg, for doing so.

what an openmindedness ...
i assure you it is quite fun ... so still no other country having that kind of habits?

[Girlinhat]

Thank you no, I prefer being dry and chafing-free during my normal day, and not have to go home and change clothes any time some punk wants an egg.  In my country this is probably actually classified as "assault".

Ah. I did not write well. I did not mean ridiculous was bad. Just ridiculous. Many ridiculous things are fun.
