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.

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

Happy Easter Everyone!
Best wishes,

Wow, those are amazing. Beautiful. No, I’ve never heard of Pysanky eggs before. Happy Easter.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jane! :-)
DeleteThose are beautiful! Years ago, I purchased a kit with excellent directions on making Pysanky eggs. I've never had the proper materials close at hand, and I never remembered to look for them when I went shopping. I finally gave the kit away. I'm often tempted to purchase one when I see them, which isn't very often. Are the two on the left in the box the ones that you're asking us to guess?
ReplyDeleteHi Diane, that's interesting you had a kit! Of course, I don't need another crafty thing to do, but I couldn't resist trying them when I saw them. They are fun to make! :-)
DeleteAmazingly beautiful eggs! I have only seen this type of decorated eggs in a museum. So impressive!
ReplyDeleteThank you Marilee! :-)
DeleteOh, my goodness, those are amazing! But a lot of work (and artistry) involved. Thanks for sharing, and Happy Easter.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Hallie! :-)
DeleteThey are amazing, not heard of them or seen it before, I know this is a late comment I have been away to Switzerland and came home with flu, now both of us are in bed with it, hope you had a lovely Easter.
ReplyDeleteYes, we did, thank you very much and I hope you're both feeling better by now!
DeleteAs a Ukrainian, I am very pleased and excited that the Ukrainian traditional Easter egg painting is becoming popular all over the world. This gives me hope that our traditions and history will not die.
ReplyDeleteHello Svitlana, no I'm sure your beautiful art will continue to thrive and internet helps spread techniques so that they can be shared with people in other parts of the world. Very best wishes to you! :-)
