Pysansky eggs

Sena and Aiyana decorated these eggs at their friend's house last Sunday. They are real chicken eggs, which the girls pierced and blew out the interior of. Then, they painstakingly decorated them in the Ukranian tradition of pysansky eggs, using different dyes and wax (the Romanian tradition is very similar). It took about 4 hours to decorate two eggs each. But both Sena and Aiyana were completely absorbed and loved the whole process. They'll be making more soon.

The nest we put the eggs in, is a real bird's nest we found fallen on the ground a few years ago. Sena made the egg on the left and Aiyana the one on the right.

Peace
