SC - help with Elizabethan feasts plans Requested

[UnruhBays, Melanie A]

    There used to be an old lady in my mother's craft club who would do
this, but with several different colors in several different dips. Marvelous
work! She's also the one that would pierce the shell with a needle point, so
that when you peeled the egg, there would be a design inside as well.
Sometimes, it was different from what was on the outside, which made for
some interesting expressions . . .
    As I recall, she used beeswax, though, not lard for the coating.
