Pysanky...

When I was a young girl, my mama took my sister and I to learn how to make Ukrainian Easter Eggs.

Oh what fun we had!! I remember the excitement when I was finally able to melt all the beeswax off and see my "masterpiece."

Mind you, my eggs didn't look anything like the ones you see here. Mine were more like colorful blobs and squiggly lines. But in my young eyes they were just as beautiful. ♥
Man, I would love to try my hand at them again.

  1. This is also something I've always wanted to learn. I did try to do some simple designs ~ didn't work out as planned. It is harder than you think. I've just received a class schedule from a place where I learned gourd carving but the classes are expensive. Someday!
    They sure are beautiful!!!
