Onionskins

I colored these two eggs using onion skins as a dye.
Paprika, curry powder, and coffee didn't work as well.
I'm still waiting to see how the one with the blackberries
mushed all over it turns out. My guess? Sticky.

Re: the blackberry experiment--the egg looks like post-blueberrry-pie dentures in dire need of a Polident bath.

A subsequent bath in synthetic purple dye, however, has yielded the most gorgeously mottled purple egg.

(FYI, Momma may not do good jack-o-lantern carvings, but she DOES do good eggs.)
