On my birthday I spent some time being creative, coloring Easter eggs. I didn't go out and buy anything, I only used what I had on hand which was Annie Sloan Chalk Paint.
AS paint has been used to dye fabrics so why not dye eggs.
The pigments used in the paints are really strong so I reached
into my paint cupboard to see what colors I had to work with
and started to experiment.
**************************************
I blew some eggs and I also did some hard boiled.
The brown speckled eggs were blown out and
speckled using Annie Sloan Honfleur, a chocolate brown.

I hard boiled three eggs and when they were done cooking
I dropped some AS Napoleonic Blue into the boiling water.
The paint seemed to separate creating a speckled look.

After they cooled off I rolled the speckled blue
eggs in some water down light blue Chalk
Paint which kinda marbled the whole surface.
I asked Carrie at The Passionate Home if she had something
locals could order for curbside pick up so they could do some
experimenting too and found out they have a mini project
pack available if you call the store at 604 532 5931
