Why is it that well painted eggs are such a cool thing?

Well, I’m not an artist, but I know it’s hard enough drawing/painting on a flat surface — but an egg? That’s got to be tricky, not to mention the breakage factor :).

Oh, Jama, aren’t they wonderful? I just bid on two of them – a pauper’s bids, but I’ll keep my fingers crossed. Open Fields School will do well with this, I’m sure – what a clever fundraising idea! Thanks for the heads-up about it.

Done? Sorry, one can never be “done” with George. He’ll be making a return appearance by popular demand :).
It’s definitely a wonderful fundraising idea — it’s just hard to decide which eggs to bid on when I like so many! Fingers crossed that you’ll win something.
