This year, I tried using some different foods I had in my kitchen to make some dyes. It was fun (and a little smelly), but our colors were quite muted. I think I added too much liquid relative to the coloring agents. I'll try again next year - and maybe we will do some like yours too! Here is the post that I wrote about my experience dyeing eggs: http://whatscookingblog.com/2009/04/09/playing-with-food-using-food-to-dye-our-easter-eggs/ I am enjoying your site!

I remember when I was little we used to boil the eggs with red onion skins to give them a nice reddy-brown colour! They looked great with silver or gold pens/paints to decorate!! Loved these ideas!!

Earl, it looks like I will be dying eggs for the grandkids so I will probably be dying a few as well. Clara, I don’t know of any reason why they wouldn’t work with blown eggs.

Tell me, is there any special egg-y technical reason why these dye tips wouldn't work with blown eggs instead of hard boiled ones? Lovely post!
