The Eggs Of My People - Pysanka


"Ukranian easter eggs, the designs aren’t painted, but created with wax. Once you have your wax outline, you die the egg, and melt the wax off. Repeat with different colors until you have the final design."

My Rare One does beautiful pysanky. I've been known to do a simple one myself every now and then. Fun little works of art!

I used to make those a long time ago. I soon got bored doing the usual designs so I started making Star Wars and Star Trek egs. I remember being particularly proud of a Dune egg.

The problem with those eggs is they don't keep vey long. Not unless you have no sense of smell.

OMG M.D. you've totally inspired me to make geeky themed eggs this year!

Very cool.
