Without any PAAS Easter Egg Dye kits in sight, it was a good time to try something new. Thankfully Briggi came to Kalocsa on Easter Sunday and taught Jon and I some new techniques for dying eggs.
First we used needles to puncture holes in either end of the eggs and blew out the contents, which were saved and eaten later.
Then Briggi and I went on a little nature walk around Kalocsa and returned with all kinds of leaves and flowers.
We wrapped the eggs in strips of nylon to hold the leaves and flowers in place. Once the eggs were wrapped, we put them in a stew of onion skins we had prepared while cleaning out the shells.
After a few hours we took them out and hung them up to dry. Another few hours and they were ready to unwrap, rinse, and string!
