already…
this beet dyed egg was the first we broke into curious if the natural plant dyes soaked into the shell…
the papers in the background were part of the egg dyeing cleanup and will be nice to use for collage…
our blue eggs dyed with red cabbage will be the last to be cracked into I think…
a favorite condiment of ours is a Sesame seed mix called Gomasio which is a delicious way to cut down on salt consumption and flavor food…

Oh; how I love these settings! Your natural-dyed eggs are so beautiful; I think I’d have trouble cracking them open 🙂 Any way to use the shells in your art? I used to use cracked egg shells as mosaics for frames; washing them then when dry – coloring with Diamond Glaze and acrylics.
It’s so wonderful to see the daffodils – so hopeful for Spring. I woke up, this morning, to snow on the ground. ????? Oh well; we are to warm up a bit this weekend.
Thoughts of you always…………….Love ya – Marilyn xxoo

Love the colorful deviled eggs — the dyes were so vivid! We got bits of Paas coming through ours, but not nearly so much as you — they look great.
Mentioning your papers reminds me I need to pick mine up from Rick’s laundry sink where I hung them to dry after doing my clean-up — for the same reason; I can USE that!

You were up early this morning. So good to see you also celebrating tea today, too.
I’ve never heard of Gomasio, but I love sesame seeds. I use dill the same. Cuts down on the desire to add salt to food.
Those papers in the background are stunning. I especially like the mottled one under the egg. Truly lush!
Happy Tea today. I also hope you had a lovely Easter.

Thank you for brightening my day with your beautiful photographs Patty! Not sure I could have broken that lovely decorated shell myself, but your egg looks very tasty with the sesame seed garnish.

Beautiful Patty! Your Easter setting looks lovely. The eggs especially are sweet! The colors are so beautiful. My daughter and I made natural dyed eggs too. We used red cabbage, and turmeric in another. We had mixed success, but plan to give it another go next year. It was so fun. Oh, and I love your bucket of flowers!
Hugs,
Terri

What a beautiful tableau. When we were little, we always used to like to eat the “blue” egg salad which resulted from turning the dyed eggs into sandwich filling. Thanks for the memory.

Oh wow! I don’t think any of my natural dye eggs ever colored the inside egg. WOW! Pretty eggs. I’m going to look up that seasoning. Always looking for a low salt, high flavor seasoning.

I’m surprised it did dye the egg inside, My DS used to put cooked eggs in a large jar of beet juice, they did turn purple after a long time, they were vinegar tasting LOL, these look lovely and I’m sure taste just fine, I’m going to try dyeing them soon. Thanks for the info on Gomasio great to know.. Hope you and the mR have a wonderful day.. big higs..
