You may have noticed in the Watercolor Eggs post that there are two eggs sitting on the plate below the colander. There is a special story to these eggs, and I wanted to share it.
If you look closely enough, you may be able to see that these eggs are cracked.
So we decided to try an experiment on them...

So we decided to try an experiment on them...
We took the two eggs that had cracked after being boiled, and we purposely cracked them a little more. Just a few gentle squeezes did the trick. We didn't want the shell to come off - we simply wanted to give it a few nice, 'spider-web' spots.
Then, as we dyed the other eggs, we placed the eggs in the catch area on the plate below the colander. We were hoping it would get all sorts of colors this way. The green and blue really turned out cool!

Once the shell comes off, a network of colorful veins echo the pattern of the cracking in the shell.
These would be excellent for a Halloween-themed Deviled Egg.
If made in several different colors, they would look really neat in a dish!
Just one problem.... convincing your 4-year-old to eat a Dragon Egg....
