Since it's an acid, I would think that it would eat away at the pasta while it soaks, or otherwise soften it. Alcohol is always a good choice as a solvent for a permanent dye--yay, vodka!

Now you just have to ask yourself: Am I the kind of person who has rubbing alcohol on hand, or am I the kind of person who has vodka on hand? I know which kind of person I am, and I kinda wish I was the other kind... Would ants eat something saturated in alcohol? And if they would, would this serve as an effective pesticide? Otherwise, I'm thinking spray sealant. I can’t imagine why vodka wouldn’t work–lord knows it’s got enough alcohol content!

Then it would be edible. The odor doesn't last too long either way. :) Couldn’t you use drinking alcohol such as vodka instead of rubbing alcohol? Then it would be edible.

Question: if we're making a mosaic, how can we stop ants from eating the finished product? This looks GREAT.

I don't think the rubbing alcohol we use for our pasta has ever affected our skin, though. After it air-dries, even the smell evaporates.

Then it would technically be edible and marginally less harmful to the skin. Well, you *could* use cheap strong vodka instead of the rubbing alcohol.
