Hi, I'm Gary for Expert Village. Now we're going to go ahead and design the images that
are going to be on the egg. The way we do this is we take, make sure that we use fresh
flowers or leaves and we're going to dip them into a little bit of water. This is going
to help us let it stick to the egg and the important thing is we want the image to be
nice and clear so that when it comes out of the dye, they'll be able to see it. So the
water helps it just stay in place on top of the egg before we put it into the stocking.
So we're going to take different leaves and different flowers and we'll put it inside
the water and then we can just place it inside the egg anyway we like. This is going to be
the way we create these images on the egg. Again, it's important to use fresh flowers
because also the fresh flowers will stick better to the egg as opposed to the dry flowers
which anyway when you put into the water it's just going to get more soggy. This is the
whole purpose in using a dried out flower. So we just use fresh leaves and fresh flowers
and put them around the egg and we see that these are going to create some really nice
shapes once it comes out of the dye. Obviously the colors don't matter too much here because
we're only interested in the shapes, you're not going to be able to see the actual color
of the leaves and the flowers but none the less you might want to use a lot of different
variations of flowers to give them nice effect.
