Monarch Orange Represents:

Strength and ambition, also serving as a reminder of the power of hope. It stands for change and captures the essence of living life to its fullest. 

Monarch Orange Name: The Monarch Butterfly is known for its migration from Mexico to the southern areas of Canada... so when we see one in Canada, we celebrate with joy and tell everyone we know! In Canada, their natural habitat includes southern Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes. The Monarch butterfly like most butterflies are deep and powerful representations of life. Many cultures associate the butterfly with our souls. The Christian religion sees the butterfly as a symbol of resurrection. This strength of hope and life come through with our Monarch Orange eggshell pysanka dye. Anyone looking for a burst of energy and optimism would connect to Monarch Orange. Its uplifting vibrancy is perfect for those seeking to make a change in their lives or embark on an ambitious journey.

**Notes when using Ukrainian EggCessories Dyes:
Cream Soda Pink, Yukon Gold, Cleansing Orange & Cleansing Yellow DO NOT use vinegar. Please leave your eggshell in the dye long enough to get your preferred colour. To get a strong black, you may need to wash back your last dye colour until your eggshell is a nice exposed shell, dip in vinegar for 30 seconds and then put in Orca Black longer than 10 minutes.

SAFETY FIRST
Breathing in or digesting pysanka dye powder can cause extreme abdominal pain and respiratory symptoms, such as a cough, shortness of breath, and a sore throat. Contact with eyes can result in redness and pain, and skin contact may cause redness as well. For arts and crafts purposes only, not food grade.

Due to these concerns, NIOSH suggests preventative measures for those working with acid pysanka dyes, such as protecting the skin with gloves, eyes with eyewear and providing appropriate ventilation while also wearing a N95 mask.
