The making of pysanky

My favorite hobby

Pysanky are Ukrainian decorated easter eggs. For pysanka usually white eggs are used, hollowed out and cleaned. Intricate patterns are drawn with beeswax on the eggs and then dipped into dye, going from lighter to darker colours. The beginning of pysanky have been documented to be well before the 10th century. First used as offerings and prayers, the eggs are now mostly used as decorations and art form to keep the Ukrainian spirit and traditions alive.
