natural dyed easter eggs

First Yes, I know the middle one is cracked, will be eating it today for lunch.......the shells can still go in the compost since this is all natural egg dye

 

the yellow was made with

1 T tumeric

3 T prepared mustard (it just tasted weird to me and rather than toss it I used it to dye eggs)

2 quarts cold water

4 t white vinegar

 

middle pink

1 pint mashed strawberries

2 cups water

1 T white vinegar

 

Darker Purple

juice of above pink strained to remove strawberries and

liquid of 1 can of shoestring beets

 

Green

3 cups frozen spinach

frozen odd herbs in the same bag

2 bunches carrot tops for texture too

2 cups water

1 T white vinegar

 

The beet juice I let the eggs soak overnight in the fridge, cold, the rest I boiled on the stove with already boiled eggs for over an hour.....I saved the green and yellow strained liquid and am now making cold dyed eggs with leftover liquid

 

I like the mottled effect

 

I tried using stickers and rubber bands to no avail, then I tried to put stickers on the eggs, looks goofy, so they are just going to look mottled....and I am happy with that!
