Today is Serbian Orthodox Easter. I colored eggs yesterday. In the top photo in the egg cup is this year's first egg, always colored red, at least according to my husband's family. Beside it lies last year's red egg, which according to tradition, should be buried. You may wonder how you can keep an egg all year. You can...it just dries up inside and when shaken, I can hear the thumpy-thump of the dried up yolk.
The second photo is just an awfully cute whimsical ceramic 'egg'.

Very well done!
A beautiful dark red. Did you get that just from regular "cake coloring" or "food coloring" or whatever they call it? Happy Easter.
JudiithK, yes. I used a lot of drops, and added some strong white vinegar to the water. Before I used to use just apple cider vinegar, but think this one is better. Left them in a loooong time.
Beautiful picture of these two eggs Pat! Happy Easter!
Thanks for letting me know how you did it. They are so beautiful.
