Pysanky


The process involves applying melted wax to the eggshell in a design, then dipping it into different coloured dyes, layer by layer.

    Just the initial design is so perfect I wonder if they used a template, hard to believe it was all freehand. But then the wax lines by hand in the fleur de lis shaped thingys was also pretty impressive. I'll stick to chocolate eggs.
