I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner...... There actually exists a
gadget for poking holes into eggs and then blowing out the stuff. It's a
bowl shaped object with a pin, and then a seperate blower sort of like a
baby's ear syringe. You can buy them wherever you buy Pysanky Egg supplies
(ie: a well supplied craft store near Easter time).

The syringe would fill, as well as blow. You could put all sorts of stuff
into those eggs. Come to think of it, you could dye the shell, first, then
fill the eggs. No that would be cruel! Hmmmmm.......


Aoife, who knows a SCAdian Pysanky egg maker, and is going to call him for
local sources.
