Easter Eggs

Easter is my favorite holiday. Spring, new colors, new scents, new light, and new projects. Throughout the years, I have dyed Easter eggs with our grandchildren, and this has become a tradition. Many of the eggs are dyed with leaves, and in dyes from plants. Many look like little jeweled treasures. We still hunt for eggs on Easter morning.

Eco Prints from Eucalyptus Leaves (Small Slideshow)

All leaves from the same branch from our neighbor’s tree. Printed on watercolor paper soaked in different mordants: water with Vinegar, Rusty water,  Alum, and Iron shavings. Magic!
