Today was Suur Reede (Good Friday, but literally translated: "Great Friday"), so my host family and I "painted" eggs naturally, naturally.
When I say naturally, I mean naturally... This is the traditional process used to color eggs -- no artificial food coloring necessary!
 |
| Step 1: Get some raw eggs, onions, tea leaves (optional), pieces of fabric, scissors, and string. |
 |
| Step 2: Place an egg in the fabric swatch and surround it completely with onion skins. |
 |
| Step 3: Then wrap them up. |
 |
| Step 4: Boil them. |
 |
| Step 5: Unwrap and admire! |
 |
| If you want, go ahead and polish them with some olive oil. |
To me they look like eggs made of polished hardwood, which is much more interesting than your standard blue and green Easter egg!
