This is a shot of the egg mid-dye.
Strangely, the bubbles only happen with the yellow dye. It has some kind of reaction with the duct tape.
This is actually the first egg I made.

Sporting a new hair cut and dye taken for my barber to see if I can get free streaks. True story. See wants the pictures for herself and then we'll take some post streak pictures for her also. It's a good deals for all involved. This picture was taken by the incomparable Raffaella. This looks says, "wanna?."
When we first moved in, I made some sheers for our patio door out of some very cheap gauze curtain panels. It was a classic case of penny wise, pound foolish. First, I had a lot of trouble getting the curtain tape on so they could be used with the traverse rod we were installing. Then, the traverse rod bent just a bit when we put it up, and never worked smoothly. The last straw was when the curtains got caught in the old aluminum patio doors and tore - just a month or two after we hung them.
We scrapped the traverse rod, and got a second regular curtain rod and some clip rings. I bought some good quality linen and made nicer panels. They look, and hang, much better.
Once that was done, I ripped the old sheers into roughly 1/2 yard pieces (with extreme prejudice) and used them for a test run of jelly jar dyeing with muted tones.
I'm fairly happy with these colors, though the blue and red didn't combine too well to make purples. I'll need to figure that out before I do a set in better fabric.
Mary Barrett Dyer (c. 1611[1] — June 1, 1660) was an English Puritan turned Quaker who was hanged in Boston, Massachusetts Bay Colony (now in present-day Massachusetts), for repeatedly defying a Puritan law banning Quakers from the colony.[2] She is one of the four executed Quakers known as the Boston martyrs.
"Nay, I came to keep bloodguiltiness from you, desireing you to repeal the unrighteous and unjust law made against the innocent servants of the Lord. Nay, man, I am not now to repent." - Mary Dyers last words.
From Wikipedia:
The color of the two on the sides didn't come out great in picture, but at least this picture finally captures the color of the angel hair dye. The angel hair and the corridale on the right were both dyed with pretty much the same dye -- half a packet of cherry pomegranite crystal light -- and look how different their colors came out. I'm curious to see how much of the color difference can be attributed to their being different fibers (the angel hair is a superwash merino, the corridale is fawn ecru corridale) and how much of it is different fiber-being-dyed amounts (as you can see, the angel hair is probably an ounce, while the corridale was 20 ounces. Big difference). The corridale on the left was dyed with a combination of Crystal Light lemonade and cherry pomigranite. I was going to dye it just with the lemonade, but the color didn't seem to come out well (the fiber was kind of yellow-ish to begin with), so I started mixing in cherry pomigranite. It looks almost undyed in the picture, but there is some color to it in real life -- still, might re-dye it tomorrow. Not enthralled with the color. Or I might just spin it with the pure cherry pomigranite and do a candy-cane-ish thing. Not sure yet.

A lab at Neversink Dye. The roof had leaked so bad above the lab that there was a 2 inch sheet of ice on the floor below and a constand flow of new water seeping in from the melting snow above. Neversink Dye Company was one of the largest commercial dye manufacturers in the world. Their dyes colored everything from plastics and ceramics to food and clothing. The massive compound was closed when production was moved to St. Louis. Shot with a Panasonic 20mm.
