Some pretty eggs! :)

This year I decided to try 'marbling' my eggs and I think that they turned out great!  

I started with a plan old egg dyeing kit and dyed almost all of my eggs a lighter color

Then I dumped about a table spoon of vegetable oil into the dye and mixed it up.  

I re-dyed the eggs in different colors and the oil spots made some cool effects!

I hope this post inspires you to try this too!  When is eating fun colored eggs not in season? ;)

Copying Martha Stewart...

I get Martha Stewart Living the magazine and in this month's zine there was an article on egg dying.  Martha and co. used shapes made of electrical tape, put the shapes on the eggs, dropped them in one color, took the tape off, and dropped them in another color.  I tried to make shapes out of the tape, but ended up with strips and squares.  I like the effect and am excited to give some of these as cute & clever gifts :)

Because I bought my egg dying kit and vinegar from the Dollar Store I had enough $ left to buy Eggland's Best Eggs, (I think these taste the best and usually are very fresh).
