Lavender Crossover Egg

Again my camera skills don't allow this to show up the way I want.  But I etched three lavender spikes onto a red egg.  Then I took purple rit dye and painted over the spikes.  Then I highlighted the right sides with the dremel again.  It is seriously nice and my own idea from the lavender spikes to the second color dye painted on, to the next etching:)

I consider it a crossover because the lavender spikes are adapted from folkart painting.

Dremel with Audio

I can't listen to my iPod with the vacuum cleaner or lawn mower so I assumed I couldn't carve eggs with my dremel and listen. But today I tried it and without increasing the volume I was able to listen while I carved with the dremel.  That was amazing. I didn't really expect it to work without turning it up a lot and I didn't know if that would be enjoyable.

Dremel

Larry got me a new carving tip for my dremel.  It is diamond point 7134 and suitable for carving eggs...it says so on the package.  That's the first time I've seen it.  It works better than the one I've been using for years and haven't been able to find a replacement for.
