Yesterday, we went to the Ostereiermarkt (Easter Egg Market) at Eberbach Monastery. My German teacher had told us about it, and she said there would be lots of Easter Egg decorators from around Europe there to sell their wares. I thought it sounded fun, so we went. OMG, it was amazing. There were maybe 100 booths of people selling their eggs. Some were boring, like wooden eggs or other egg-shaped things. We pretty much skipped over those. I can cross-stitch something and make it into an egg shape. But, I cannot do the things that some people did. There were painted eggs, pysanski eggs, eggs decorated with wax and dyed, eggs with parts carved out, just everything.
This will be mostly a picture post. I wasn't allowed to take pictures at all of the booths, but most of them were fine with it. Every egg in these pictures is a real hollow egg shell, and is decorated by hand. Several of the artists were working on eggs as we watched. Amazing.
Emma says - It was cool.
