Happy Easter!

I like my holidays secular, but will still indulge in a tradition or two – this is my second year making Ukrainian style Pysanky Eggs. Raw eggs are drawn on with melted wax using a special funnel-tip pen, and then dyed in various colors into a multi-layered pattern. They are time consuming, to say the least. But also quite fun, once you get past the first time you singe your fingertips in the hot wax.
