With left-over acid dye from Ukranian dyeing (bought from Steiner College Bookstore), the kids and I painted more eggs for Easter and we came up with some fun abstract work by dipping the eggs and also dripping dye onto them. The style almost resembles watercolor veil painting. Mostly, we had fun seeing how the dyes would find their own paths in traveling along the surface of the eggs, creating subtle organic shapes and abstract eggscapes!
Our Syrendell shop at Etsy has an ebook for learning how to use natural egg dyes!

These look wonderful. We have one of those ukrainian kits, and with school being out for spring break now, we can try keeping the easter crafts going, just for fun.
Blessings on you and your family's Easter.
Looks like fun. 8-]
They look beautiful. I bought some aritisan dyed eggs when I was in Ukraine, but don´t know about "Ukrainian egg dying kits". What are they and where could I get them?
