Egg Dyeing with Silk

Many thanks to our friend, Miki, who is such a "Good Egg!" (Sorry, Miki - couldn't resist.)




At our Art Party last weekend, she brought us each an egg that she had dyed with a technique using recycled silk neckties, water and vinegar. I had not heard of this technique before, and oh my - what gorgeous eggs she made! I made a nest out of my fabric - just look how the egg picked up the swirls of color from the silk. Beautiful!
