pysanky

Beka remembers her Mom making Pysanky eggs growing up so she ordered a kit online. It is basically dying eggs using wax as a resister to the successive dyes so that you can create multi-colored patterns.

We decided to only use 5 colors (the kit came with ten and we were starting this process at about 9:30 at night)...
Doug learned how to use the kystka...

These are the eggs after their first color
And then finished eggs...

Doug made a horizon line with a sun, birds...
and an octopus and fish.
Beka made stars on one, and swirls on another.
She tried for a sparrow on her third egg.
Doug made a science egg... E=mc², an atom,
and DNA.
Then Doug made one with dots...
And then we put all our eggs in one basket...
