couldn't resist this experiment

Posted to a list I subscribe to was this project from marthastewart.com to color Easter eggs using silk tie fabric. And I just had to try it—the worst that could happen would be a simple hard-boiled egg.

These pictures show the end result. Only some of the colors transfered from the silk to the eggshell. But it is a pleasant coloring and I just may have to try again with other pieces of fabric.

No! Don't eat it. The last time we had this discussion on the list it turned out that many of the dyes used in scarves are toxic. It is very pretty, though.

We share a desire to experiment!
The design on the egg would make a good art quilt!
