General handling of all dye powders: dyes are safe to use when handled with caution. Because these concentrated powders can become easily airborne, all powdered dyes should be handled with the following safety precautions: Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Gloves and eye protection recommended. Do not inhale, masks are recommended. Do not ingest. Acid dyes are not food grade. Do not prepare dyes near open food or drink. Keep away from children and pets.

Fantastic Kit for beginners and gift to those working with Pysanky style egg decorating.
What a fabulous first timers kit! It included real eggs, already marked for wax pathways. Generous amounts of dye, great instructions and equipment. I'd taken one class on Pysanky egg decoration and this kit made it all worthwhile. It includes the beeswax and the heating/drawing utensils called kitska, which sort of looks like a miniature metal pipe. You heat the pipe, scrape off a bit of beeswax, and carefully reheat the wax.. a tiny funnel on the end of the pipe allows you to use it like a fountain pen, and simply put the wax on the line of pencil for the first dye. You dye from lightest color to darkest, rather like the technique for batik fabrics. The artist was generous with the supplies and advice. You would be comfortable giving this kit to someone who already has tried this method of egg decoration, as the tools and decorated eggs are appropriate for all seasons of the year.
