Pysanky!




This is an Easter egg called "pysanky." I knew that it was a Ukrainian tradition, but I hadn't found a single egg like this until about a month ago. (Apparently they are a lot more common in the western part of Ukraine.) I am absolutely in love with this thing. It is handmade through a process of painting on designs with wax, then dipping the egg in colored water, then repeating, until you get the desired effect.
