Start off with a pan of water - about a quart. Add a couple of Tablespoons of Vinegar and Yellow Onion Skins to the pan. |

Bring it to a boil, then simmer - pretty low - for about 20 - 30 minutes. You can already see the water has color to it. |

Here is Red Cabbage and Vinegar almost to a boil. |

I really like using this hand held strainer to remove the onion skins and cabbage pieces after the water has stopped boiling. |

This time I used white eggs for this project. I cut a daisy bloom off - pretty close to the base - to use for this egg. |

I put the bloom front side down against the egg, then wrapped a piece of nylon tightly around it, and tied it with a twist tie. Remember to be careful not to crack the raw egg! |

Here's a bunch of the eggs all wrapped up and ready to go. I used flower blooms, leaves, and herbs to press against the eggs. |

Here is the beautiful color that results from the Yellow Onion Skins. |

Unwrapping this one - sometimes you have to peal the leaves off or they wipe off easily. |

Here is the pretty soft blue that is the result of the Red Cabbage. I used a mini rosebud for this one. |
