Silhouette Egg Dying: Mixed Results

As expected, the eggs I spent the most time carefully wrapping in nylon ended up with the best plant silhouettes.

I’d expected that the dye bathes weren’t strong enough, but I never expected the beets bath to be so weak.

But, alas, no pink or even pinkish eggs emerged from the brilliant pink bath. Nope. I got brown eggs, just like the ones from Victory Acres.

Several are pretty enough to keep.

And, even though this was a lot of work, I’d like to try it again to see what I need to do to get the natural dyes strong enough to color the eggs.
