Happy Easter!! — 5 Comments

  1. It is not a treasured keepsake, but a LOT of fun.

    Take a blown decorated egg and fill it with confetti. Glue a bit of tissue over the opening to hold the confetti in. Have a confetti egg war with everyone needing to find the ammunition. Getting close and smashing the egg on your opponents head is the preferred method. Definitely an outdoor activity though. Colder climates may have trouble preventing the mayhem from drifting into the more comfortable indoors.

  2. Someone sent me (in an email message) a fascinating series of pictures that were of sculpted eggshells.

    The nearest I could find online at a website I could link to in this comment was HERE. But although those are good, the ones in the email were better.

    If anyone’s interested in seeing them, you can email me and request that I forward them; you can get my @ddress at my blog, which should be found by clicking on my “Nom de ‘Net”…

  3. Dang, and I thought I was being creative by using rubber bands and stickers when I dyed.

  4. Your post brings back memories – I was inspired by pretty Chinese eggs, which were created with the same technique. I also tried to teach kids to blow the yolk/stuff out eggs.

    They were at the age when just saying ‘egg-blowing’ made them collapse laughing. Watching me do it was even funnier. But once they realized that the technique would make their decorated eggs last forever, they got more serious about it.

    One easter we made decorated eggs as gifts. It was a lot of fun, but it required a lot of patience and effort.

  5. The Ukrainians get the best press for their elaborate pysanky Easter eggs, but the Romanians and Hungarians do them as well. In the Romanian tradition, each egg is made specifically for a single person, with prayers attending as it is being decorated.
