New Camera and Some Easter Ambition...

As mentioned before, I have been struggling with my Cannon, and finally is gave up the ghost. I never seem to have anything to take pictures of until I don't have a camera... funny how that seems to work out. Sam and I decided a new camera is just something we had to have, and I purchased a Nikon Coolpix. I am not sure yet if I like it as much as I did my Cannon, but I am still playing with the settings.

Needless to say; now that I have a new toy I had to play with it. Camera plus Easter meant I had to do something creative. While reading through various crafty blogs I stumbled across the perfect project. I am not going to take credit for the idea, and if you visit the link you will see I am no where near a professional... but I sure had fun!

It all began by boiling some eggs.... rolling them around on paper towels to crunch the shells (don't let them fall off though)

The next step was to dissolve gel food coloring into cups of water. When I say dissolve, I mean it... make sure your watter is a strong bold color, or you will have a pale outcome.

Let your eggs soak in their baths for... well 7 hours is what the instructions read... Some of my lighter colors could have gone longer.

*If you are going to eat them (yes they are edible) make sure the soaking happens in the fridge.

*As you can see below, some eggs are a little pale, I am attributing this to low intensity dye solution and not making sure the cracks went through the shell and the little membrane attached to it.

Peel and enjoy the Color!

You can display your fun creations as they are, or turn them in to festive Easter treats...

Ooolalah! Can't wait to tak e them to dinner


HAPPY EASTER!!
