Egg Dyeing 2011

Easter preparations at our house are in full swing. This evening we dyed eggs using the time-honoured ancestral method - in onion skins. To make the eggs come out more interesting and patterned, I sacrificed a pair of stockings, poured pearl barley into them, and tied them around the eggs to be dyed. When the dark pink speckled eggs were ready, we handed them over to the Easter bunnies.
