It took a very long soak indeed for the eggs to take up the color, but they came out well in the end. The light purple is from cochineal, the deep blues are from red cabbage, the light yellow is from marigold flowers, and the splotchy tan in the back is from beets.
They're so beautiful and painterly in this clear morning light.

Those are pretty! Look at that deep blue, gorgeous!
The cochineal really took overnight. looks less red than i would have expected but really lovely. Glad to see the finished product because they really progressed from when i left
It's so funny that that deep blue comes from red cabbage - I'd expect it to produce purple...
Beautiful colors!
Those colors are so rich - gorgeous!
