Hello everyone and hello dear ladies of the Ladies of Hive community. I hope you are all well and ready for a great weekend!
This is a holiday weekend in my country. We celebrate Easter tomorrow. Every year for Easter I paint eggs in different colors, but this year I decided to turn to nature and do something different. From childhood until today, the most delicious Easter eggs for me have always been eggs painted in onion skins. They have a special taste, although they do not look very attractive.
I went out with my son to pick some flowers and leaves to decorate the eggs.
He was choosing and was very happy about it. We picked a lot of different leaves, dandelions, clovers, daisies...
Then he suggested that we could cut paper in various shapes and also decorate eggs with it. I accepted the idea. We cut baking paper and made various shapes.
I cut out old tights. I put the decoration over the egg and wrapped each egg and tied it with string.
I first put onion skins in the cooking pot.
Then I put eggs over it.
And onion skins again. I poured water, apple cider vinegar, and a little salt and put it to cook on low heat.
And here are my Easter eggs. I coated them with sunflower oil to get a shine and my son stuck stickers on some of them.
They are not very attractive but they are natural. Lately, I've been trying to turn to nature whenever I can. I avoid everything that is artificially made and is not necessary. I don't need to have colorful eggs for Easter. I will be happy with these as well...
And my son found a way to bring colors to this holiday and he painted styrofoam eggs. 馃檪
So, in the end, we were all happy and satisfied. 馃檪
Thank you very much for reading.
The images and writing are original and mine.
Greetings!
