(they are also called pysanky) I was wondering if anybody knew where i could find step-by-step instructions on how to design a Ukrainian easter egg. i have done pysanky before, (i go to a Ukrainian school) but mine never turn out quite right. does anyone know where some simple instructions can be purchased or viewed? thanks!
Glad to know someone else is continuing this special tradition!
Here are some sites -
After years of making them, I pretty much just make up my own designs. Good luck!!!
