Pysanky egg art



Pysanky eggs art is an Ukrainian tradition. These eggs become works of art from all the elaborate decorations and hard work put in to them. The are dyed, painted, and can have jewels on them. The maker of the eggs have a wide range of what can be done to them. In our class we created Psanky eggs nothing as elaborate as tradition ones. He use dye and wax to make different colors and to create designs. The eggs were hard boiled so the risk of breaking lessened. Fist u could either dye your whole egg one color you please, then you would us wax and paint brushes or what ever utensil you have and make any design you please. Then you would dye your egg again and continue this process until you find your egg complete. You would go from light to dark in the dye process.
