Okanagan Wine eggshell Pysanka Dye is a stunning dark, rich red that works very well on a Pysanka egg design. Okanagan Wine works nicely as a darker red on your pysanka. Borealis Green or Sweetgrass would be a nice complementary colour on any pysanka design.
Okanagan Wine Represents:
Passion, love, and elegance. Its deep, rich tones convey a sense of warmth, sophistication, and the complex nuances of life's experiences and pleasures.
Okanagan Wine Name: The Okanagan Valley, located in the interior of British Columbia, is known for the wonderful wine they produce. The deep and powerful colour of their red wines has been encompassed in our Okanagan Wine pysanky dye. The bunches of wine grapes trailing on our dye envelopes make me think of wines from Burrowing Owl, one of my favourite wineries in the Okanagan. ;)
**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.
