Eggs and Kitchen Dyes
I recently taught a class where I work: how to naturally dye eggs. Fun was had. And it made me long for wool. :D
Have fun celebrating Spring in whatever way floats your boat. I am off to eat delicious Puerto Rican food with my family.
Live happy, dye happy!
Gorgeous shades of color!
Thank you!
Very clear/dark colours! Gorgeous. Thanks.
Thanks! I was not crazy about them when I first took them out of the dyebaths, but after they dried and were oiled, they really came to life!
Your eggs look so pretty! I would have loved to join the class!
Thank you! And I would have loved to have you in the class. :D
Wow! Your dyed eggs are gorgeous!!
Thanks! Getting back in the saddle after not dyeing for a while. The wool is going to happen next…
Lovely – I don’t know if I’d rather eat them or play bocce – the colors remind me of well-loved vintage balls (in a good way, of course)!
Looking forward to seeing your new wools too…
Well, since they’ve been sitting on the table for a week now, let’s vote for bocci, lol.
Bring on the wool!! Happy spring :)
:D
I have a friend who lays herb springs on her eggs, wraps them in cheesecloth, then dyes them in onion skin broth. They are quite lovely.
I’ve seen those! So pretty. Next time. :D
Love the colors you got from the natural dyes! Some of them are familiar….. but would never have thought of hibiscus (which is funny, since I have dyed yarn with it!).
Yes…. on to wool!!
The hibiscus didn’t work so great on the eggs. The real stars were the onions, the red cabbage, turmeric, and the blueberries. I’ve seen hibiscus on wool, and it’s gorgeous!
