From beetroot to paprika

Remember the Beetroot Post?

Well, born partly from my (slightly odd) idea, Judith Lynn has been doing experiments with making a paprika ink/dye, and the results are looking great! You can read about her process and see pictures of the results here. She also had some tips for making beetroot work more effectively as a dye, which I'll be trying soon.

So, in the search for natural vegan dyes we have a pink/red and an orange/yellow! I'm off to see what other colours can be added to the list *G*

  1. Just came across this on Etsy. They are selling loose Vegan Mineral eye shadow. I bet you might be able to mix that with either alcohol or Kato liquid poly clay. Here is the link.

    Let me know if you do any more experimenting.
