Our First Workshop

Robbie here egg-in!  
Last egg post for a while... I promise!


We did it.  
The day before Easter we invited a few of our friends together with their children for an egg decorating workshop/gathering.

 

After months of experimenting we were super excited to share what we had learned.

 

This time we used 6 different natural dye baths and we did it outdoors on a propane camping stove. 


It was just too beautiful of a day to be indoors! 
Holly even donned the rabbit ears.


Our selection of natural dyes included: 
Onion skins, Red Cabbage,
 


Beets, Mint leaves,

 

Turmerick and Coffee.




Thanks to everyone who came out!  
We had a wonderful time and we learned so much!

Eggsperimenting



Robbie here.  
Easter is approaching fast and Holly and I have been exploring some new, natural egg dyes to use in an upcoming workshop.  



We can't help ourselves.  It is too much fun!



This go round we had some hits 
(beets, mint leaves and coffee)


...and some misses (paprika, pomegranate)  


 Luckily even the misses are hits.  
The results are always surprising.
