On the Saturday before Easter we have always first cooked and then painted Easter Eggs. Through the years many different styles were experimented with. Right now I like coloring with wax crayons on hot/warm eggs. Here are some from today...

You may choose any you like - I can make more any time!
Have a blessed Easter. Share it with family and friends!


As Goethe says in Selige Sehnsucht (translated rather freely)

And so you have not this,
Die and become anew!
You are but a cheerless guest
On the dark earth

Und solang du das nicht hast,
Dieses: Stirb und werde!
Bist du nur ein trüber Gast
Auf der dunklen Erde.

Let us all become new this Easter!

The eggs are beautiful. We colored eggs with the boys tonight. I don't remember it being that messy when I was little.

Thanks for sharing all your pretty Easter eggs with us! It's been a long, long time since I've done that!

your so sweet

They're lovely. So's the verse - maybe I do remember a little German after all :)

And many thanks for your lovely comments on my Lent series - you always seem to understand my pictures. Thanks.

Using wax is probably much healthier than using dyes. This is a novel approach to coloring Easter eggs and they are pretty.
Sammie B. Mar 29, 2008, 10:19am EDT
Great eggs! They came out really good. Hope you had a good Easter.
