* I have these items available at a very good cost if you purchase a kit or are taking a class.
Please ask questions before buying items if uncertain. I spent a lot of money on wrong items when I started egging.
---------------When taking a class at my residence you can borrow these items from me. I will provide glue and silicone in class also.
When/why do we use a disappearing pen?
I really dislike seeing black permanent marker on a nice egg, and these pens we draw scrolls, and a pattern where we will braid. It disappears while working or just rub it off.
I dislike seeing a nice egg with black permanent marks beside the braiding. (difficult when using fine braid to hide.) I use the disappearing marker to mark the scrollwork and braiding lines and it disappears. Great for hanging pictures on the wall...no pencil marks!
