We do our eggs with bees wax and a pitchka. We dye them several different colors and then remove the beeswax and cover them with varnish. I think the word is Prisanice. Everyone I know calls them Ukranian. Many Blessings to all this Easter!

Paty, Yes using wax is a more recent method but the oldest method was using onion skins and etching the design into the dye, exposing the lighter color of the shell. The tool is sometimes called a kiska.... pitchka (pic"ka) is a bad word at least in Croatian... but in Russian it is a little bird... Croatians call these eggs pisanica Ukraine is Pysanky http://cgi.ebay.com/Easter-Egg-Croatian-Hrvatska-Pisanica-Turkey-Egg-rmb_W0QQitemZ200096054773QQcategoryZ70975QQcmdZViewItem Robert "Reuter, Patty" <patty.reuter@highlandbanks.com> wrote: We do our eggs with bees wax and a pitchka.
