Though Orthodox Easter won’t occur for another month, I got into the spirit of using onion skins and beets as a natural dye for Easter eggs, with local flowers and greens for decoration. I was pretty happy with my results!

First I had to collect my onion skins & beets, my eggs, and all sorts of flowers and greens to make a print.

Then I had to pull out all my artistic skills to cover the eggs.

Then wrap up the eggs and chuck them in the water bath with the onion skins and beets and hope for the best. I left them sitting in the water for an extra two hours after boiling to make sure the color set.

And ta-da – the result was pretty spectacular if I do say so myself. Happy Easter!
