Pysanky



Tonight we dyed Easter eggs. In Puc' Family tradition, we decorated them using a method called pysanky. Basically you use a stylus to make designs on your egg with wax and then put your egg in some dye. After you get it the shade you want, you take it out, make more designs on it with wax and continue like this for several layers. When you are done, you melt the wax off and you have really cool multi-colored eggs. Obviously we don't get as fancy as traditional pysanky, but we still have a good time.
