Pysanky on the brain

Here's what I've been doing of late...and I mean late. I've been doing pysanky every chance I get. I got some brown eggs that are really great to work with. Here are some of my recent creations. It always takes me a while to get in the groove, so some of these are underwhelming. Last night I gave a pysanky lesson to Jill Halbach, who works for me part-time in the Post Library. We worked until 11:30. I think I grossed her out when I showed her how to blow out the insides. Not a pretty sight!

I want to try again. I had a bad egg that other time. Do you think Dominick is ready to learn? Just kidding!

Leslie, those are incredibly beautiful! Do you make up your own designs or use a pattern? It looks very difficult! I'm impressed!
