Egg Decorating

Five gathered in Fellowship Hall on Tuesday evening, March 18, to dye eggs in both American (natural) and Ukrainian styles. Onion skins (red and yellow), red cabbage and beets were used in the cooking of hard-boiled eggs.

Some decorated themselves in the process of the dying and others had designs scratched on with a needle. Layers of melted beeswax and dye were applied to get the brilliantly colored pysanky. The technique for these eggs was more difficult to master, but everyone is looking forward to getting together next year and setting aside more time for their endeavors.
