Texture Tuesday and Yellow Mums

This weeks theme over at Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday is free and easy.  Any photo, any color, any texture.  In my Easter centerpiece I used egg shells for little flower pots and they haven't hit the compost bin yet so I thought I'd get a little more use out of them.

Easter Blues

When my children were young, it was a tradition in the house to dye Easter eggs on Good Friday. Now that they're grown with families of their own, I decided I would quickly dye a dozen for the center of the table for Easter dinner. Wanting to keep it simple, I used food coloring from the cupboard and a little vinegar. I'm not sure what I did right or wrong but I really liked the tie dye look that they took on.

In trying to make them look like speckled eggs I spattered on a little acrylic paint.

 

A few yellow tulips from the grocery store and my Easter centerpiece was complete.

 

Hope you all had a wonderful Easter.
