How about you? Are you dyeing some eggs this year? How are you going about it? Post pictures of your creations if you have them!

The problem with this one is that there is no link on thekitchn's website for this (I looked); it was in the weekly email newsletter. However, here is a link to thekitchn: Apartment Therapy The Kitchn
Last year's post on using onion skins to dye eggs: http://www.thekitchn.com/thekitchn/h...er-eggs-081574

Thanks Snowy, this is a wonderful thread and a neat way to teach kids about natural dyes.
Have a Happy Easter, too!!!!! (I always dye eggs and either share 'em or just end up making potato saled with them or other dishes) (HEhehe...no my potato salad isn't multicolored!) Any other Easter tips to share?

Here's a link to the method, as (finally) posted on thekitchn: Vibrant Eggs, Dyed Naturally | Apartment Therapy The Kitchn
I'm actually having a lot of fun with this! I have six eggs in a jar in the fridge right now with the dye I made from a purple cabbage. Next up is the onion peel dye.

I didn't get a chance to color eggs this year...how'd yours turn out, snowy?

The colors in the photo are so rich, Snowy. Beautiful.
So how have your eggs turned out? Did you detect any vegetable flavors when you ate the egg, and did any of the dye transfer through the shell?

I have pictures, but I need to get them off of my camera. We're still eating some of them
![]() They turned out really beautiful, though. They are definitely not your store-bought-dye eggs. The amount of work that went into making the dye really wasn't bad at all. It was a bit messy at times, but that is what aprons are for.

I have done pysanky (wax resist dyed), but have always used commercial dyes which are wild mondo rich colors. The eggs are blown out (for posterity) and then decorated, but I have wondered about designing hard-boilded eggs for eating. Theres something more natural about reaching for an egg to eat and admire as opposed to a basket of art, but Im afraid the commercial dyes are toxic. Im going to try these.
