Easter Eggs

<< My face Easter eggs for this year >>
For years we have been decorating Easter eggs in solid vibrant colors with store-bought egg dye, food coloring dye, natural dye (ex: vinegar, beets, etc.), or the colorful art tissue paper found in art supply and craft stores. Easter egg decoration was always fun, but time and money consuming as well. Since this year round, i didn't have the time to run to the stores to buy the dying kit or make it naturally, i decided to use a different technique. I made face eggs by adding features such as mouth, nose, and eyes simply by using permanent markers that i had at home. Everyone loved it when they came over, and fought on which face egg they wanted to use and play with. I have to say, i loved how the Easter eggs turned out as well, it came out more creative, unique looking, less costly , much faster and enjoyable process. All in all , sometimes not using the traditional methods of thins turns out to be a more benefit able to the person.
