#5 Skipping forward... Hope You've Continued Your Reading!

Wishing you a Blessed Easter

This photo shows one of the final steps in creating a pysanky (that of melting away the beeswax to reveal the finished design).

Pysanky is the art of Ukranian egg decorating. The egg symbolizes perfection, in that is has the capability of beginning and sustaining life within its perfectly formed shell. Symbols are drawn with a tool called a kitska, which is, traditionally, heated by the flame of a candle and filled with melted beeswax. Through a series of drawings and dyebaths, the egg continues to be covered with more and more beeswax. This photo shows the design as it is being revealed.

Traditionally, pysanky are given as gifts at Easter. The symbols and colors represent meaningful prayer-wishes.

My computer had to see the "doctor" during the past week or so.
