Inspiration of the week , Teal and Pink!

 

 

Teal…. Teal is a medium blue-green color, similar to cyan. Its name comes from that of a bird—the common teal (Anas crecca)—which presents a similarly colored stripe on its head. It can be created by mixing blue with green into a white base, or deepened as needed with black or grey. The complementary color of teal is maroon.( Info Wikipedia)

A Romanian Point Lace Easter ….

A Romanian Point Lace Easter ….

It’s again Easter and time is flying when you have a little one. I did not do much this time just a few traditional coloured eggs in onion shells and red berry tea.

My egg design is more abstract. I was getting bored with simple colours and wanted an eye catcher on the table.

I love the reddish terracotta colour blend and the shine of the egg.  I feel that if you do want to colour eggs, keep it natural. And by that I mean use natural dying techniques and products from nature like onion shells, beetroot, teas, etc….

I embellished the eggs with grass, leaves, thread, romanian point lace pieces and wrapped it in a sheer stocking. Letting it boil for quite some time adding simple vinegar to make the colour stick.

Once it;s boiled I let it cool in its warp and cut the eggs out of it;s wrapping. Taking carefully all the elements away from it, place the eggs in a bowl and make them shine with lard. Keep it authentic!

How are you celebrating Easter?
