> I'm doing experiments in edible egg decor after an inspirational pysanky class. Ukranian pysanky egg dyes are not safe to eat, but did the process work with non-toxic dyes? I've been painting designs on eggs in wax, soaking them in black tea, then removing the wax from the outsides, holding it up next to a candle and wiping off the melted wax, leaving white designs on the shells. So labor-intensive, so impressive. If there's anybody you need to impress, go for it!

There is this file in the CRAFTS section of the Florilegium:
pysanky-eggs-msg (18K) 9/13/00 Painted and dyed eggs of eastern Europe.
We've also had a fair amount of discussion on Pysanky eggs and other
egg dyeing on this list. I have a fair amount of additional info from
those conversations that has not made it's way into the Florilegium yet.
Primarily because I haven't decided whether to add it to this file or
start another on dyeing eggs in general.
This file in the FOOD section might also have some info on dyeing eggs:
eggs-msg (125K) 7/26/00 Egg storage. Recipes. Substitutions.
