[Image] nettles (learned that they don't work), beets, turmeric, red cabbage + vinegar, red cabbage without vinegar [Image] beets, turmeric, red cabbage + vinegar, red cabbage without vinegar. two eggs fit in each honey jar. [Image] the dark blue is the result of the red cabbage without vinegar [Image] the marbled look was produced by bubbles that appeared to be created by the vinegar in the dyes, as there were no bubbles in the jar without vinegar.
i made some easter eggs with natural dyes. i used the advice from here, despite the fact that one of the tags on that blog is about potty training. no potties were trained during the making of these eggs. i used stuff i had in my kitchen - red cabbage, beets, turmeric and i even tried some nettles (they don't work). i love the colors they turned out to be. the eggs were provided by our chickens. they're good that way. and while their eggs aren't white, they're a very light tan, so they color very nicely.
