Hi Anamaria,
I'm bringing some more Easter eggs from Romania , to be enough for all our friends ! :)) If anyone would like to do something like this , I just found the secret :
"Prior to decorating eggs, these are washed with warm water and vinegar, boiled slowly not to break their shell, and covered with a thin bed of bee wax. Then the eggs decorated using special tools, such as: goose feather, the "chisita" (special tool, made of a thin metal pipe, with very small diameter; a pig hair is pulled through it) is used for "writing" the motive and the "brush" (a tool that is used for covering the larger spaces - thick lines, points etc.). Vegetal colours obtained from sweet apple peal, leaves and flowers, hip rose peal, are used."(Ileana Diaconu)
Happy Easter !
And some pretty bunnies !
