Very impressive. I admire your experimentation with various plants. I tried a little several years ago with avocado and with onion skins but didn't get the results I wanted. About 20 years ago I wanted to use food dye to make a purplish Easter egg for a student. I used red cabbage/Martha Stewart. Too hard to find enough in Tokyo, the dye was pale and the egg looked like a rock. lol It made for an interesting discussion. Maybe I'll try again with the black bean water. Also admire your journal keeping and that fantastic find as well.
I love how you embrace the element of surprise. I enjoyed watching and learning.
I’m learning as I go and love to celebrate the surprises. That’s the wonder of natural dyeing isn’t it?! Are you a dyer too?

Let me know how the black bean water goes on eggs. I’m sure it will work?!
