You just need cotton and egg dye (food dye should work as well). First, you need to boil the eggs and paint them while they're relatively warm. <br /><br />You take some cotton and spread it on your hand. Then you put drops of different paint on it with a tea spoon or a syringe (the second is more precise). Once you cover the cotton with paint, you cover with it the whole egg. You let it rest like that for about 5-10 min. To get a glazed look, gently dry the egg with a tissue or let it dry on its own and then rub it over with a cotton with vegetable oil. <br /><br />When I mix the colors on the cotton, I think about how yellow and blue overlap to make green, red and blue make purple, etc. It makes a lot of difference where the colors go and how they mix - some of the eggs may turn too light or weird dark colored. But it's a lot of fun. <br /><br />If you want to make a galaxy egg, you can first make dots on the egg with a candle. Wherever the candle touches (because of the wax), the egg doesn't get painted. This way you get the stars. Then you use darker colors or make some with mixing red an blue, for example and you should get a galaxy egg. ;)Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05167714671159912343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2081745537608096706.post-33813196455152928402012-04-16T01:01:57.634-07:002012-04-16T01:01:57.634-07:00Those eggs are beautiful... how did you make the o...Those eggs are beautiful... how did you make the one between the red and blue print ones (second from bottom)? That one is particularly cool. That sweet bread too... holy cow, that looks amazing... I love the "random" rustic nature of it... just delicious. I want to rip it up and eat it all :D<br /><br />Charles @ <a href="http://www.fiveeurofood.com" rel="nofollow">FiveEuroFood.com</a>Charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02287448540509156959noreply@blogger.com
