Extra Art - Pysanky Eggs

pysanka is a Ukranian Easter egg.






The egg is decorated with folk designs using a wax-resist method.
Have you ever written on an egg with a crayon before you dyed it?  





Pysanka means "to write" because the designs are not painted on, they are written on with beeswax.




The designs used are usually lines, simple shapes and animals like birds, horses and fish.
