Psyanka: Various Designs


The Wikipedia definition of pysanka is a Ukrainian Easter egg, decorated with traditional Ukrainian folk designs using a wax-resist (batik) method. The word pysanka comes from the verb pysaty, "to write", as the designs are not painted on, but written with beeswax.  The plural is pysanky.

Yup.  That is pretty much the process of what this is.

I made this set to donate to a charity auction for The Children's Center where I work.
