Pysanky Eggs - Happy Easter!

I recently discovered the joys of making Pysanky eggs (wax-resist dyed eggs) and have been having fun making several (once you start, you can't stop!).

I made my very first YouTube short showing the process if you're interested.

Egg with two colours (there's a layer of yellow you cannot see) and wax still on
(sorry, ugly paper towels covered in sooty wax!)


The result of the egg from above photo.


Another egg completed but wax not removed yet.

Same for that one.
... See if you can identify which these two above are in the box below! 


Who wants half a dozen eggs?




Two of my favourites... but I've already made more since!


Had you seen this type of egg decoration before? Do you like to decorate eggs for Easter? They looked great covered in tatting too of course and I've been meaning to design some tatted eggs for ages! But I failed again this year... I was too absorbed by making Pysanky eggs.

Happy Easter Everyone!

Best wishes,
Frivole
