    Easter Eggs

    I decided to have a little fun when I was dyeing Easter eggs with the kids on Saturday. I batiked (kind of) the eggs using a white crayon for resist and overdyed with just the three primary colors. Not the fanciest stuff in the world, but it was fun! The colors in the photos are off, so for reference, the two eggs on the right are purple in the main color.

    My son used tape this year. It was pretty interesting.

    Beautiful eggs! I love making pysanky eggs with crayons and candles each Easter. I've also used masking and duct tape to create color layers.

    Have you ever read "Chicken Sunday" or "Rechenka's Eggs" by Patricia Polacco? They're wonderful children's stories about the Ukrainian pysanka egg-decorating tradition.
