These are hand decorated eggs that we make.  They are a traditional craft in Ukraine, with a history of thousands of years. Patterns are drawn on the egg with wax, which then protects the covered areas from the dye that is applied. By repeating this process with 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.  My brother, Peter served his mission in Ukraine, so this craft has special meaning to us.  Also, Aunt Jenny taught us to do how to make them years ago, so we always think of her while we work.
