Later that day we dyed our Easter eggs using natural dyes. The colors weren't as bright as the regular egg dyeing kits however the colors have a subtle beauty.
Clockwise starting at the top (yellow onion skins, red cabbage, beet juice, turmeric and grape juice)
Our eggs weren't all white. I had about 5 white, 3 slight blue and 4 that were a tinge of brown.
Top row: the 1st two are yellow onion skins, turmeric, grape juice, grape juice and turmeric, beet juice on a light brown egg
Bottom row: beet juice and turmeric, purple cabbage, beet juice on a white egg, turmeric, beet juice on a light brown egg, plain brown egg not dyed

This is so cool! I barely have the patience to dye eggs, let alone make my own dye, although you've definitely intrigued me. I keep seeing pics in the blogophere about people getting patterns on their eggs (i.e. leaves). Not sure how they do that, but it sounds like a good next step! :)
