> Until I was about 8 or so, every Easter, we would paint eggs at school. I have a couple at home (absolutly beautiful) that my grandfather did about 50 years ago in his spare time. As far as I'm aware, that's an art form thats dying out.

Yeah, I used to do that. Is that not where one pokes two needly-sized holes at the top and bottom of a raw eggs, blows out the white and yolk, then cleans, dries, and paints the egg shell? I used to love doing that :-) The bad thing about it is that they are very fragile and break easily.
