Color in Snow

    Hiya, cool idea. I am online looking up information on how to best get non toxic color on the snow. Live in Colorado so we have plenty of snow canvas to work with…at least for a few more weeks. Where did you buy the food coloring, in bulk? I have some artistic friends and we would like to make an outdoor mural on a properly sloped hillside with food coloring and I would love any suggestions. Love the blog by the way, I’ll be back!
