Well, it says they’re nontoxic when used as directed.

I guess that means don’t eat it?

Most likely.

Here is an egg I made as a thank-you gift for my German professor and his family.
In these pictures I had not yet applied the polyurethane varnish:

And the one picture I have with the varnish:

Thank you, those are amazing! And thank you for explaining that wax ring technique. But ... toxic dyes? Why toxic?

Everything is toxic. lol

Finally decided what to do with this tiny egg. I didn’t have brown dye, so I layered gold, scarlet, and black. The lightest color, used in the outlines, is the shell color. Next, I dyed the egg gold, then dipped it in scarlet, then very briefly in black. This created the midtone on the nut and the cap. Next, I alternated between the black and the scarlet until the background was dark yet rich.

Also I received six new dye colors for Christmas and I’m excited to try them out!

That's beautiful!

All the eggs are so beautiful and cool looking! I would love to follow along and see what you make next.

That is really pretty! I must be dyslexic or something bc even when you explain it my brain does not really comprehend how this works, not really. I get little glimpses of comprehension like somebody briefly opening a door but then.. it's gone again, lol. No way could I get a picture in my head of what I want the finished product to look like and then calculate the steps I'd need to take to get there. All this just to say that I am in awe of your ability and I hope you keep sharing.

You know what would be REALLY COOL?!? If you showed the steps you take along the way. Show us the process. I would love to see that!
