Nature Inspires me (just so you know)...

here is what it looks like when you use fresh things from nature and add it to EASTER eggs....it really is amazing, you should try it:O)

I guess I will give a small intro to the below pictures. Last year I really wanted to make my own dye for coloring Easter eggs (you know...using stuff that is natural, to be one with the earth:O)....however, I didn't get started early enough....so it just didn't happen. This year however, I was DETERMINED to at least attempt it...and here is how it turned out. I am very proud I must say....it turned out much different then I could have ever expected (I wasn't expecting anything because I really had no idea how it would turn out...so I guess it was no surprise:O). They are very dark and I will try and work with a few more color schemes the next go around (tomorrow maybe?..haha, I really want to figure out a few "kinks")....BUT, this is a start to a very fun Easter egg tradition!!!!!
ps....Dear Grandma, I hope you can see these eggs from all the way up there, because every time I look at them I think of you......I'm MOST definitely your grand-daughter if I have a LOVE for the beauty of eggs, just like you!.....I love you! (p.s.s...if you saw my hands right now, you would be proud. They look just like yours at the end of a long day out in the garden....)
