🐣 How was your guys' easter? 🐣 (Patreon)

We didn't do much this year, unfortunately, no big family lunches BUTTT we did paint eggs, which I was absolutely adamant on doing. I know in North America it's not that huge of a thing but as an Eastern European I just gotta paint the eggs. I gotta haha.
I made my own dyes, as I've been doing for the last few years.
Purple/Blue = purple cabbage (when you add baking soda to the purple it turns into a bright blue-green-teal colour. it's crazy. science, you know)
Red = red wine (usually use beets but didn't have any)
Yellow = turmeric root
Orange = onion skins
Green = a mix of the blue and yellow
Last year my eggs turned out fuckin craAAAZYY but for whatever reason the blue this year just didn't catch. (The super saturated/colourful eggs are from last year). But regardless I think this year's turned out insanely pretty, with a soothing colour palette. Those tie dye eggs looks like marble. We did those by dropping some dye onto cotton and wrapping the egg in it and letting it sit for a while.
If you celebrate, what did you do? I'm curious. But also if you don't celebrate what did you do in general 😂
