People's way to paint eggs for Easter. Painted eggs or painted - how to paint eggs on Easter
Let's talk today about staining of Easter eggs? Yes, because, before the bright holiday of Christ, the Resurrection remained quite a little bit - a half weeks. And first record in the section easter recipes I decided to do this particular thing - I will tell you about how I prepare the eggs to the process of staining.
Unfortunately, it is not always possible to buy and delicious, and fresh, and clean eggs. And on the eve of Easter - especially. Including because another selection criterion appears - white color shell. However, it is possible to take and, so-called "orange", but they will not succeed with them to achieve bright shades.
Perhaps someone in bewilderment will say: "Why do you need some kind of preparation? I launched into the dye / husk and ready!" I do not argue, you can and so. And I will not discharge anyone if this approach seems reasonable and more appropriate. I will tell about those reasons that encourage me every time to do those manipulations, about which it will be on.
Thanks to the preparation, you can:
Reveal non-baking eggs to boiling;
- paint eggs in any color (including onion husks), even in light yellow;
- provide more uniform overlay color when painting;
- make eggs tastier (but here, as they say, taste and color ...)
So let's start?
Everything that will need at this stage:
- pan
- laundry soap
- food sponge
- vodka or alcohol
- cotton woven disks
The course of my actions:
So, these are not very pretty eggs were in stock. Well, what to do - I didn't find cleaner in the store. Although, maybe it is not bad. After all, by themselves, demolished in normal conditions, eggs cannot be perfectly clean. And if they were washed, placed in the containers and on the store shelves - they will ruin much faster (so that this does not happen, you need to boil them as soon as possible after washing). So ... unwashed - and good!) 
For all washing procedures, a kitchen sink is very comfortable. Therefore, I climbed the hole with a plug, laid out eggs and scored water nice warm temperature.
At this stage, by the way, you can already reveal the long-standing eggs - the nestor will pop up, and the normal will remain at the bottom. 
Washed every egg with a sponge with a household from external pollution. Lowered water. 
The further step is more designed to remove the stamp on the eggs. And you can regard it as another stage of cleaning the shell.
So, scored fresh warm water So that it only covers the eggs. Sydied soda. 
He stirred it in the water and gave eggs to lie down in the soda solution of 20 minutes.
Most of the stamps at this stage are departed. You can help them again with a sponge with soda. But neatly, the eggs are fresh, with coarse treatment they can crack, besides, the white shell is more fragile than "redhead". 
If the stamps are still a bit visible, as in my case, I do not see here shouted here. With further cooking, they will completely disappear. Therefore, I simply shifted the eggs to a suitable saucepan. 
Fucking up more salt so that the eggs are not cracked during cooking. 
Poured water and sent for gas. Fire is small.
Beaming time depends on the number of eggs and taste preferences. Cook as usual, with amendment on the fact that the more eggs, the more time it will be needed.
We love the "backbanks" - these are eggs that are boiled for a long time - 1-2 hours. They have another taste. Someone likes, someone does not. We all love the whole family. By the way, they also are stored longer. But they do not bother with us)) 
Boiled eggs pour cold water As long as it does not completely change hot. Leave eggs in water in a saucepan until completely cooling. 
Then I post on a clean dry towel and wait when the eggs are dried. 
I prepare medical alcohol (you can use vodka) and cotton disks. In theory, the discs can be replaced with cotton, but this option I like it much less, since the wool can leave the fibers. 
Washing the disc alcohol and wipe each egg entirely. It is this procedure that contributes to the paint (dye it or a husk - no matter) evenly layered on the shell. True, there is one nuance - if any contamination (incl. And litter) was long on the shell, then, most likely, it will leave some trace that will still manifest after staining. But if the shell pre-treat with alcohol, then this trace will be more pronounced. 
Alcohol instantly evaporates from the shell surface. That's all, eggs are ready to paint! 
However, I also note the fact that at the time of boiling and painting (regardless of whether it happens in one stage or two, like me) eggs should be room temperature. To float the water too. And brew / painted on a small fire. Under all these conditions, no egg will crack!
Pre-boiling allows you to paint eggs with a lung husk and light colors. To do this, you need to lower the prepared boiled eggs in the onion decoction and hold there just a few minutes. How much - it depends on the concentration of the beam and the individual characteristics of the shell, so the time is better to determine the experienced way - carefully remove the eggs with the help of a colander and watch what it has a shade at the moment. In more detail, I will talk about it in the next recipe;)

Everyone has been known for a long time that there are painten and there are writings. Painted - just painted eggs. Pysanka - with waxed or egg scarlup (without eggs) or wooden billet. But there are all sorts of different ways to decorate paintings.
The process of coloring is very simple: prepare a decoction, strain and boil eggs in it or boil eggs in water and dipped in a prepared color solution from food dyes. Then the eggs need to be cut. This can be done simply putting the eggs on the napkin. And you can make a stand, for a more uniform drying of eggs: stick to the non-desired pins and laying out eggs on it. But, a drop that flows from the bottom of the egg still needs to be removed with a napkin, and occasionally turn the eggs. That's how it looks like
Several tricks painting eggs:
- To keep the shell entire to the end of the cooking, the eggs should be held at room temperature for about an hour.
- During cooking in the water, it is desirable to add a tablespoon of salt.
- In order for paint to go smoothly, before painting eggs, they need to be deguted - wipe with soap solution or alcohol. In a solution with paint, you can add art. vinegar
The easiest way to color - food dyes. It is necessary to dissolve the dye in water, the color should be quite concentrated. Put into the solution for 10 minutes already boiled, warm eggs. You can hold and longer. It all depends on what kind of color is needed.
You can paint eggs and with the help of thrust products that are not sorry to spend for staining eggs. And get almost free beautiful easter eggs, without chemistry:
- At Easter eggs, they are predominantly painted in red, which is associated with the blood of Jesus Christ, therefore the most common, effective, traditional is onion decoction. (No. 1) saturation can be varied from yellow to brown. The decoction needs to be prepared in advance and give it to be laid. If you want the color to be more saturated - the husks need to take more and cook it about half an hour. Eggs omit into the effects of infusion, bring to a boil and cook for 7 minutes. Take out, cool. If you take a red bow husk - it turns out a more scarlet color.
- For the same technology, eggs can be painted with dry birch leaves (№3), kidneys (No. 6), oak bark (№4), calendula (№ 2), walnut shells.
- Kurkuma will give eggs a beautiful golden shade. (№7) need to add 2-3 tablespoons of turmeric, boil and boil the eggs in this water
- You can save the remnants of coffee grounds (№8) or tea (№5), boil, strain and then cook eggs in this brave. The longer the egg is in the coloration of the brave - the stronger and brighter will be color. You can leave an egg in the scaffold at night. But, you need to follow, so that the decoction was a lean, so that nothing has been imprinted on the egg.
- Another option coloring - juice (№9). Boiled warm eggs grate with juice (beetroot, carrot, spinach juice or abraise / other greenery).
How to make a pattern:
- Eggs into a dope (№1). Wet boiled eggs to cut in a dry rice, cream, buckwheat or other croup, wrap in gauze (the ends of the gauze should be tightly tied with a thread so that rice sticks to the egg) or in a stocking, evenly distribute the cereal and keep in solution with paint. Give to completely dry (about 12 hours) and carefully remove the eggs. The main thing is not to take the croup that quickly swells. You can also do with eggshell (№ 2).
- Eggs with Figure (№3). Attach flowers or leaves (any) to eggs (any) wrap the stocking and tight tight. Lower into the firmly brewed husk and boil.
- Marble pattern (№4). It is necessary to wrap the eggs into a moist onion husk and top to tie with some wet cotton material. Leave so complete drying. Unleash and remove the egg
- Striped patterns (№6) When staining, you can wind eggs with threads and hold in solution with paint. Give eggs to completely dry and remove threads from them. You can also use gum (№7)
- Dried eggs. (№8) Clean or painted by any food paint eggs are still hot with a napkin, put in a glass or a stand for eggs and a thin tassel to paint them with food colors until they are cooled. In this way, it all depends only on the wealth of your imagination.
- Multicolored eggs (№9). To coat into a solution with food paint first one half of the egg, then another. You can combine two colors to get the third one.
- Patterns with wax pencils (№10). Draw a drawing with wax pencils. Leave an egg in the paint for several hours (the longer - the richer color it turns out) to dry the egg and then neatly erase the wax rag. If the wax is removed poorly - to hold the egg for some time over boiling water. If you show fantasy - you can get complex patterns, perch eggs in several different colors. To do this, we need to think through what an ornament will be and where it will be what color. In this case, you need to start with yellow, then red, then green or blue. It can be limited to two colors. The meaning is that each color is painted with wax.
- Wax drops (№11). You can dripping on the eggs melted wax create a drawing. Pain the egg in the solution of food paints and then erase or sink wax drops. Here you can also combine several colors.
- Eggs with stains (№12). For these eggs, cooked hot eggs should be folded into a colander and pour concentrated paint. You can use several colors.
- Patterns from self-keys (№13) can be pasted on the cooled boiled eggs cut out drawings from self-keys, or simply scotch strips (№15). Dip the eggs into the dye. When they dried, remove the adhesive tape. You can repeat the process, sticking new drawings made using adhesive tape. For a variety you can use several different colors. Please note that color should be started with the brightest colors (yellow, blue, etc.), ending with the most dark (dark blue, brown and so on). If you want to consolidate the areas of certain colors, cover them with adhesive tape.
- Quail eggs (№14). If we cut the brush into concentrated paint and spray it on the egg, it turns out a "quail" pattern
After dyeing Easter eggs to give gloss to wipe them vegetable oil. BUT! This applies only to uniformly colored eggs, without a picture. Otherwise, the drawing is simply erased.
There are many different dyes for Easter eggs in stores and on the market, but to join the magic of our ancestors of Slavs, it is better to use natural components.
Before starting the process of color, you need to prepare eggs. So that they do not burst during cooking, get them in advance from the refrigerator, carefully wipe out, put on a plate and leave at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, and better - for an hour. In order for paint to lay a smooth layer, the eggs are pre-wiped with alcohol.
When the painted eggs are completely cooled, they are rubbed with vegetable oil to create a "glossy" effect to shine. Another secret: if they put them on the cold for the night or put in the refrigerator, the color will become brighter.
By the way, for various magic rites, the "multi-day" eggs was used, which were painted precisely by natural dyes. Natural paint did not destroy the power of the sacred symbol and kept a special positive energy in the shell.
Powder made of such a shell has a great power: it attracts fertility forces. Such a powder is sprinkled in the garden (field, summer cottage) to get the best harvest.
Symbols of Flowers of Easter Eggs
Slavs most often stained with Easter eggs in crumbs, approaching them in color to hot solar luminaries. But at the same time, other tones were used, and each of them carried a certain semantic load.
By the way, even a white unpainted egg initially had a sacred value, because this color is a symbol of purity, enlightenment, primacy and innocence. For example, if there were white lines in the pussy, it meant a sinless life.
Red
Red color is traditional. It feels the power of pristine creation, a certain union of creative forces. Bright red paintings are associated with the joy of life, the good news about the revival; Sacred marriage with his love, passion. In red, a straight symbol of heavenly sacred fire, sunlight shining. Purple shade means power, pink - tenderness.
Orange, yellow
The value of these colors is very close to the red, because they were also the symbols of the heavenly shining. Embody the fertility of the Earth; attract a good harvest, wealth, warmth and joy; Win from evil forces. In general, orange, yellow and similar golden shades act on people very positively, giving birth to an optimistic mood, the desire to enjoy life and carry good to the world.
Green
Green personifies spring awakening of the forces of nature, vital energy, youth, bright hopes that have every chance to come true, personal growth leading to prosperity.
Blue and blue
Blue is a symbol of sky and air. Such a painten implies getting rid of the seals and alarms. Heavenly color carries purification - both in spiritual plan and in physical; Includes a wish of good health. And in a saturated blue, in addition, a certain mystery is hidden, the essence of the endless space, the divine sacred wisdom.
Brown
The symbol of the Mother Earth, its hidden power. Such a paint is in itself mighty power and the persistence of the earthly solid itself, according to which the person's leg steps.
The black
It is rarely applied due to a certain gloomy symbolism, more often used in the general scheme of pisanka. On the one hand, black is the color of sadness and death, but at the same time it is the color of the night - the overall symbol of other forces, their hidden secrets. Black carries the personification of immortality, life after death. In the process of painting the egg, most often black is applied as a background to show the power of other colors even more.
Purple
Purple painten is perceived in our consciousness as a symbol of faith, wisdom and time.

On a note: A more uniform color will succeed, if you add some seeds of cumin and / or chamomile to the Nasty of Low Pluff.
4. To obtain yellow tones, boiled eggs are rubbed with orange, lemon (freshly squeezed citrus juice) or carrots.
5. In order for the color to close to the lemon, the eggs are boiled together with such components: birch leaves, the bark of young apple trees and calendula flowers.
6. Our ancestors thousands of years ago sought a red-yellow shade when staining eggs due to the ocher solution (powder cooked from a mixture of red clay and hematite), in which the eggs were immersed for a short time.
From salad to green
The infusion of the eggs and mother-and-stepmother, taken in an equal amount, gives green. Also, eggs can be boiled together with the shoots of a young rye and leaves of Barwinka.

Such shades are obtained if you cook eggs with Dark Malva Petals. In addition, boiled eggs are placed in the juice of dark grapes for 30-40 minutes. You can still brew a strong ink tea (decoction). In it, for 15-20 minutes, boil eggs on low heat, and after this time, leave them in the liquid before cooling or before getting the desired shade.
Blue and blue

3. To achieve a blue in hot water, you need to throw purple flowers and then leave boiled eggs in it for a whole night. You can also put them in infusion or juice from blueberries, lingers or blueberries. Even better - the berries (you can use and frozen) with the addition of vinegar droplets, and then omit the eggs to this mix.
Brown
1. If the eggs hold in very strong coffee, resulting in brown. On 250 ml of water you need to take 4 tablespoons of ground coffee and cook eggs in this solution. Color saturation depends on the duration of the cooking.
2. Another recipe for dark brown color: 50 grams of black tea per 1 liter of water, add 1-2 tablespoons of vinegar, a little shell walnuts, Oak bark, alder bark. Cook half an hour.

How to make a pattern on eggs
It makes it possible that if the eggs are wrapped with thick threads for knitting, braid, or just attach a flower or leaf of parsley, then wrap the egg to gauze and so weld it in the dye, then it turns out a beautiful painted egg.
Honestly, not everything is as simple as it seems at first glance. The paint quickly impresses the threads and fabric, staining the egg. Leafs and flowers also depart, flowing paint. Perhaps one hundred and twenty-fifth attempt will be successful, but usually before Easter has no time for experiments. Therefore, to make a print on the egg, we use a strong tension that is well lipnet.
How to make a print:
- Degrease the surface of eggs.
- To get the drawing, sculpt the pieces of tapes on the egg. Carefully press the isolent so that the edges should be glued.

Eggs can not only paint, they can be wrapped in a colored foil or make an applique using ordinary colored paper. For this purpose, color confetti are excellent.
