Sorry! I ran out of characters!
Here is where you can find instructions for the methylcellulose / acrylic paint technique. It is for paper, and you will adapt it to eggs by watching the video

Stacy, I agree with your comment.
The technique done in the video with the goose egg interests me just as much as the olive oil technique in the instructions. I don't understand why they didn't catch that they were two seperate marbelizing techniques ( and that the technique from the video needs instructions.) Martha mentions "our paper marbelizing technique" in the video. Here is where you can find the instructions for

I also made these following the instructions listed (not the video) and it worked very well. Yes, the oil to water ratio is key, it's best to add a bit at a time and ensure that the surface is not a solid layer of oil and can be easily broken up. Also, it works best with dark colors like blues, purples and greens over lighter colors.

I made these as per these instructions and they turned out beautiful. The key was to get the oil water combo right. It should almost cover the water underneath but not fully. Dip half an egg at a time and remove, there should be enough dye beaded water left on the egg to leave a lovely pattern. Wipe with paper towel. Not enough oil

The directions for making marbelized eggs and what she does on the video are totally different. Why not give directions for how it's done on the video? what is the gel stuff in the pan and where do you get it????

This didn't work for me at all. See my results here: http://marthaandme.wordpress.com/2010/03/28/martha-mondays-easter-eggs/

We used liquid brown food color from lorannoils: https://www.lorannoils.com/p-8468-liquid-food-color-brown.aspx

I don't know how to do the tints...sorry. I can't even figure out how to get this to work. Please help!!!!

How does one achieve the tints shown in the photo? Especially the grey. Do you have to get professional grade gel food coloring. Please advise

I would like to know how to achieve the tints shown on the eggs in the photo. Especially the grey. What type of dye is used for this? Not your standard food coloring.

I love these eggs ! Happy Easter Greetings from The Netherlands

I've tried to make these twice and they never turn out well. The written instructions are different from the procedure demonstrated on the video- so maybe that procedure would work. I've never tried it because I have no idea where I could find the supplies.

I have made these, although they were hard boiled eggs. The technique worked very well, in my opinion. I am thinking about making these again this year. Mine turn out more subtle than the pictures, but still very pretty.

Has anyone tried these printed directions with the olive oil instead of the directions from the video with methylcellulose? Wondering if they turn out like the ones in the picture.

Oops, didn't scroll down... sorry. Even the eggs in the video look different than the ones in the picture here though.

Methylcellulouse is a powder used in book binding, you mix it in a blender to make almost like a gel...it's a great base when marbalizing paper, most high end craft stores will sell it. Acrylic paints work great, they are cheap and look wonderful

I believe methtylcellulose is a chemical usually found in wallpaper glue...

I found the correct directions! I entered in the site search for methylcellulose, the solution that she uses in the video and it linked me to the proper directions. Still haven't found out what methylcellulose is yet but I will do that next. Also, she does use paint, not die. Hope this helps!

These instructions have absolutely nothing to do with the "how to" video. I wasted a lot of time trying to make this work and all I got was green eggs. and oil There is nothing in the instructions in regards to the cellulose that Martha spoke of in the video, also it did not appear they were using food coloring at all but rather some type of paint. I wouldn't waste your time with this.

I tried it yesterday and all I got was an oily egg as well. On the video how to, it shows Martha using some sort of cellulose. What is that? and where can I get it.

I just tried this. the base color is really pretty, but when I went to do the swirls all I got was an oily egg... maybe you'll have better luck than I did.
