Egg Dyeing





Experimenting with plant dye, was so much fun. Blueberry's, Turmeric, onion skins and cinnamon. We played with tape and bees wax. The Turmeric was spice form, blueberry's , cinnamon and the onion skins I simmered for an hour. I have been so inspired by my friend Deepa and Sasha. My family went to Deepa's workshop at the Botanical gardens in Berkeley. She has put together some wonderful programs there. This added so much depth to our family's tradition of dyeing eggs. I have been taking out books from our public library to do research. The possibility's are endless. It's so exciting!!!



I wrapped this egg with onion skins, and then threw it into the blueberrys
