#08 Laurentian Green Pysanka Dye

$2.25


To achieve the best results, consider applying this dye with a brush or a Qtip. If used as the last colour or for covering large areas by dipping, it's recommended to wash back to white with ivory soap and then quickly dip in a 10% vinegar solution to allow this green to cover effectively. While green typically plays a minor role in a pysanka's overall colour scheme, it holds significance in certain regions of Ukraine where it takes center stage on the egg.

Laurentian Green Represents:

Health, harmony and reassurance-the colour of spring, growth and renewal. It evokes the feeling of an invigorating walk among the trees, and serves as a reminder that we are always able to start anew. 

Laurentian Green Name: The Laurentian Forest is a beautiful landscape full of life and colour that connects the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River together. Our Laurentian Green dye captures the elegant liveliness found throughout this magnificent city of trees. It embodies new beginnings: a reminder that after a long winter, there will always be growth and renewal. 

**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.
