I bought 2 dozen duck eggs locally thinking that they&#8217;d be fun to work with.  I tried some local chicken eggs &#8211; but it turns out everyone raises chickens that lay colored eggs and I wanted nice white shells.  But when I did a search to see how to clean the duck eggs all I could find were articles telling me you can only wash them with water and if you wash them with soap or scrub with baking soda, the shells won&#8217;t take the dye well and they will wind up pastel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I scrubbed that duck egg with baking soda, wiped it down with vinegar and then rinsed it.   It seems to have taken the dye just fine.  There are a few irregularities, but nothing I don&#8217;t also see in chicken eggs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/bluesuncraft.talkat.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_0062-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"917\" data-link=\"https:\/\/bluesuncraft.talkat.us\/index.php\/2019\/06\/16\/eggs\/img_0062\/\" class=\"wp-image-917\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bluesuncraft.talkat.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_0062-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bluesuncraft.talkat.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_0062-416x555.jpg 416w, https:\/\/bluesuncraft.talkat.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_0062-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/bluesuncraft.talkat.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_0062-400x533.jpg 400w, https:\/\/bluesuncraft.talkat.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_0062.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/bluesuncraft.talkat.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_0063-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"918\" data-link=\"https:\/\/bluesuncraft.talkat.us\/index.php\/2019\/06\/16\/eggs\/img_0063\/\" class=\"wp-image-918\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bluesuncraft.talkat.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_0063-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bluesuncraft.talkat.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_0063-416x555.jpg 416w, https:\/\/bluesuncraft.talkat.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_0063-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/bluesuncraft.talkat.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_0063-400x533.jpg 400w, https:\/\/bluesuncraft.talkat.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_0063.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/bluesuncraft.talkat.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_0064-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"919\" data-link=\"https:\/\/bluesuncraft.talkat.us\/index.php\/2019\/06\/16\/eggs\/img_0064\/\" class=\"wp-image-919\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bluesuncraft.talkat.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_0064-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bluesuncraft.talkat.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_0064-416x555.jpg 416w, https:\/\/bluesuncraft.talkat.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_0064-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/bluesuncraft.talkat.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_0064-400x533.jpg 400w, https:\/\/bluesuncraft.talkat.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_0064.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last month I volunteered to teach a class for a youth creative arts club and we made Ukrainian eggs.
