Pysanky Egg Dyeing
Paper Marbling
Pysanky is a traditional craft in Ukraine and Poland.
Patterns are drawn on the egg with wax, which then
protects the covered areas from the dye that is applied.
By adding different colors of dye, a multi-colored
pattern is built up. Finally, the wax is removed to
reveal the colors that were covered up at each stage.
