Naturally dyed Easter eggs

Dragon Mood? -- dyed-in-the-wool Easter egg lover

While hanging out yesterday, awaiting my departure time, I happened to catch Martha Stewart's daytime show. She was demonstrating with Olivia Dukakis how to dye Easter eggs with natural food items.

The food that most intrigued me was onion skins. Martha wrapped loose onion skins around each egg, wrapped it again with cheesecloth and hard-boiled it. After the egg had cooled, she removed the wrappings and the egg had a lovely, natural marbleized appearance.

Celestial Seasonings also has an article about naturally dyed eggs here.
