Very fun, chatty, and the final results were beautiful, except for the eggs which weren’t! HA! Maybe I will have to try dying them this way some spring…..if I ever have a daughter or two back in this part of the country! Thanks!

The only problem I can see is that I despise the smell of cooked cabbage…but I could probably get past that. We also always used the standard effervescent dye tablets to dye our eggs, and I never researched another way because, frankly, I never thought about it. Thanks for the idea! :)

For the leaf patterns, I feel like yarrow worked the best because it has a bigger leaf than the other herbs we tried. Instead of brown, though, we ended up with a bunch of weirdly purple, bruise colored eggs that the magpies found in the morning and snatched up out of the yard. Also, naturally colored eggs are REALLY hard to search for outside :)
