Pysanky


If I can do this so can you! Pysanky are Ukrainian Easter eggs. The girls and I had our first lesson a few days ago. My egg doesn't look quite as good as these but who knows what will happen with a little practice! We were promised that with a little practice we would soon be teaching others.

This site has a good overview of the history of pysanky and the process involved. We worked for 3 hours to complete our first egg. We are hooked though!

Wow! is right :)

Somehow I think I'd have trouble making mine look like that, lol.

If I ever get access to a class, I think I'd like to try it.

Can't wait to see your egg! ;-)

I'll post a picture when I get my egg back. I am still amazed that I could create something that (well, almost) beautiful. I have NO artistic talent!

Yes, post a picture of your egg!
