Pysanky!
By amackie
Today Laura G put on a fantastic Pysanka (Ukrainian egg decorating) workshop at the lab. We had a blast melting beeswax, waxing up eggs with a stylus called a kystka, and dipping them in various dyes. They all looked awesome. Pics!

- Doug created the obligatory Kwartzegg.

- A herd of painted eggs in its natural habitat.














I remember doing this years ago at a booth set up in a mall. They turned out really nice, and I think my mom still has the eggs I made.
