@aecasey I've found I like dyeing brown eggs much better than white!

I like the wonderful earthy tones instead of pastels

SUCH gorgeous colors! What kind of dye did you use?

@lynnz thanks Lynn!

@jyokota I used regular gel food coloring. the darker eggs are brown eggs and the white ones I used I did darker dips over the lighter brighter colors to try to tone them down. I would like to experiment with some natural foods to use as dyes next time around but will always use brown eggs! Thanks!!!

Never thought about dying brown eggs. These turned out beautifully. We didn’t color eggs this year and I can’t think of a year when we didn’t...

What a beautiful picture...I love these colors! SO unique! Can you explain what gel food coloring is and how to use it to color eggs?

@jackies365 -- the tones are absolutely gorgeous and I would want to wear a necklace made out of beads those colors. Gel food coloring? Hmmm . . . it's been a long time since I've even looked at food coloring. I only remember drops in a set in a box. When I was living in Poland people used onion skin to dye their eggs.

@janetb @jyokota gel food coloring is like the drops comes packaged the same way. Im3sure I just got it at the grocery store. The recipe was on the box but it's standard boiling water, vinegar and coloring mixture like the liquid drops. The colors are probably s bit more concetrated. I've heard of onion skins and I thought blueberries might be a goid thing to try and maybe ground carrots and of course beets!

@jackies365 Thank you so much for the info! I think this idea is so unique...well done! I'm going to try it next year!

Great colours and focus.

@jackies365 -- I'm looking forward to seeing your natural dye eggs -- will you tag me on the results?
April 14th, 2020  
@jyokota that won't be very soon! But I would certainly tag you!
