SC - Eggs graven with Vinegar

[Elaine Koogler]

That sounds very similar to the Ukranian craft of psanky, wherein a stylus of
sorts is used to mask areas of the egg when it is dyed.  The egg is put through
a number of dye baths to create very complex and beautiful designs.  However,
the design is strictly on the shell of raw eggs...in fact the egg itself is
often blown out.
