These NON-EDIBLE Pysanky dyes are called aniline dyes, which are the
same types of colors used on textiles. They are typically more
vivid
than standard food coloring, which you find in the supermarket.
The
original Pysanky dyes were made from plants and minerals that were
easily
found in nature, such as onion skins and tree bark. Each of these dye
packets
makes 1 - 1/4 cup of non-edible water soluble dyeing solution. They
have
been approved by a licensed toxicologist as non hazardous to health
when
used as directed. You will need to buy distilled water, white vinegar,
and containers for mixing and storing the solutions. (Wide mouth glass
jars with tight sealing lids work best.) The solution will
last a long time if kept sealed and stored in a cool dry place, and if
you take care to prevent egg leakage in the solution. Remember,
NEVER
add vinegar to the Orange dye.
