Dozens of eggs to dye and hide (luckily I had good help).

I even tried a few natural methods, courtesy of Martha (turmeric worked well, beets not so well).

Thanks for all the great Easter "basket" suggestions last week. The simple fillers really are the best, and I didn't have to feel bad about buying little bits of plastic crap that will get thrown out next week.

It's great to hear about someone trying the natural methods from Martha too. Your eggs turned out so bright and pretty!
ReplyDeletei'm so jealous...i need some littles so i have an excuse to dye easter eggs...
ReplyDeletegreat colors!
ReplyDeleteThe beets didn't work for me either, but I had the dye from the proper Ukrainian Egg dying kit on hand... didn't have enough time to do any fancy designs on my eggs this year though.
ReplyDeleteI bet turmeric worked well, that stuff is impossible to get out of things (the only way to get a turmeric stain is to leave something in the sun for a day...but I digress).
ReplyDeleteI wonder if saffron would work? I think saffron-gold is a such a lovely color.
Your eggs are just beautiful, by the way. I think the beet-red looks quite lovely...
