#25 Blue Jay Feather Pysanka Dye

Regular price $2.25

Blue Jay Feather is a very strong eggshell dye. You'll notice there isn't much powder in the package because the dye powder is very strong. Blue Jay Feather is a new light blue eggshell dye. It can give you variations of blue shades depending on the length of your dye dip. Give it a quick dip for a lighter blue or leave it in for a stronger baby blue colour.

Blue Jay Feather Represents:

Peace and healing. This shade of blue has the ability to soothe the soul while simultaneously invigorating the mind - it is the perfect antidote to stress induced by the busyness of life.  

Blue Jay Feather Name: It is said that finding a Blue Jay feather means you are encouraged to follow your highest dreams and desires. It is illegal to keep a Blue Jay Feather but seeing one and holding one can be taken as a sign of confirmation that you are being protected along the way and that you shouldn’t feel insecure about yourself in any way, you’ve got what it takes. A Blue Jays feather is a beautiful physical symbol of encouragement to cross your path. Our Blue Jay Feather Pysanka dye will still bring the same energy to your Pysanky. A Blue Jay feather is definitely a positive sign and you should feel happy and thankful for this symbol to have crossed your path.

This blue is often used as the blue of the Ukrainian flag on a pysanka.

**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.
