I know this is splitting hairs, but I must disagree.  The only think this
really has in common with pysanky is that eggs are involved.  Otherwise, it
most closely resembles an acid etching project. (In my opinion, of course.)

Perhaps wine that has gone to vinegar would color better, as it it more
highly colored that commercial red wine vinegar.  As for the etch it would
produce, longer immersion should make up for weaker acidity if that seems to
be a problem.
