MWR said...: I have more fountain pen inks than I can possibly use, including some old ones I will never use, so I deployed those. I used 2 tablespoons of vinegar, 6 ounces of water and probably up to a tablespoon of ink per cup. This represents a lot more pigment than is in a PAAS tablet, needless to say. The half-blue part of the egg on the right resulted from maybe 15 seconds in the "blue-black" cup. Two minutes or so yields the deep navy seen on the left. One ink, Private Reserve "Baby Lips Pink" produced a reddish precipitate whose effect can be seen on a few eggs.

I won't be eating any of these eggs, of course, because fountain pen ink is not food coloring.; April 08, 2007 10:35 PM
