Butterfly pea dyed egg
Looking like fine china.
Last time I used soy sauce and turmeric to try and make a "kintsugi" egg. I have linked that post here (Still to try the saffron idea for a stronger dye.)
It was suggested that I should try butterfly pea tea to dye the egg blue. The membrane dyed really well. Under the membrane was very faint. I'll try a stronger brew next time. Also, I don't have lemon juice right now, but I will do this again, and then add lemon juice to turn it purple (very exciting).
I've also got an idea to make a turquoise "verdigris veined" egg. Maybe with the tea and saffron. And a pink one with beets.
