EASTER EGG DECORATING

There's many ways to decorate Easter eggs although I'm unfamiliar with most, here's some of my favorites. I like blown eggs (the contents are emptied) and they last for years with some lacquer. Just poke a hole in each end and blow all contents out. Here's the easiest with vegetable coloring. The longer they are soaked, the deeper the color. Great fun for children! Another easy way is the egg sleeves. You can either boil the egg and the plastic shrinks to fit the egg or use a hairdryer for empty eggs as I've done. The egg in front has not been shrunk yet. I got these sleeves cheap at the Polish store. The eggs below on the right are ones I've painted by hand & are a few years old. The three eggs on the top right are Polish wooden eggs, one has a lamb , another has a swan & a flower. Whatever way you decorate Easter eggs, I love them all ! Enjoy, friends :)

Your Easter eggs all look very beautifully designed! You took out all the eggs yolks then you must cook it if not will be very waste right?

Happy Easter Brad!

Brad, your eggs are simply a kind of a masterpiece, we love them and we think next year we'll do the same. I used to paint them when I was a child.
Happy Easter to you and family and to our dear Bill too!

A lovely post, Brad. Great.

I have been elsewhere a few weeks, that is to say on Facebook, where I started a project against harassment and bullying. It's going well and I'm very pleased. If it weren't in Finnish I'd like to invite you :)

Happy Easter
Rita
