happy weekend!
I’ll be taking tomorrow off, and I hope you all have wonderful weekends. These eggs were made by Mihaiela, who has some brief instructions, and you can find full instructions for making red ones here and blue ones here. But it doesn’t sound easy!
*UPDATE: Please see Amanda’s comment for simpler instructions!

April 11, 2009 at 12:22 amhi there! these are so nice to see, im think this mihaeila woman is romanian. im also romanian and my mom has made these for years. and the directions are actually very confusing so for anyone who cares to make these, this is how: find some pretty leaves outside, small ones that will fit on the eggs. take some old nylons or new if you want, and cut into “tubes” about 4-5 inches long. place the leaves carefully on the eggs and place the egg in the nylon and tie the ends around the egg, either by just knotting it or with twisty ties or string. then bowl them like regular in water, usually a big pot with red onion peels, lots of them, maybe like 2-3 onions if it’s a large pot. and bowl the eggs like regular, usually much longer if its a huge pot. when its done, take the eggs out and you could take off the nylons and there are your eggs with the pretty leaf marks in white. and you could always shine it with bacon if you want, or just butter haha :)
