There was a novel I read not long ago where a character described the process of drawing on eggs with wax and then dying them. I had this pretty cool image in my mind of what they might look like; but it wasn’t until today, when putting in the keywords “Eastern European art” into Google’s image search, that I actually got to see what these are – and just how far off my imagination had been!<\/p>\n

The eggs below are labeled as “Pysanky: Ukrainian Easter Eggs” on a photo-gallery website called www.thingography.com<\/a>. If you go to the Pysanky gallery on this site, you can see just how intricate this egg dyeing gets. The level of detail on these is quite mind-blowing; everything is created with wax and dye.<\/p>\n

For those of you looking for inspiration for canes, I think you will find that perusing these eggs on the previously mentioned page or putting Pysanky into a Google images search or on Pinterest will bring you quite the bonanza of color and pattern ideas. There is also a Flickr group<\/a> that posts more than just eggs. What a wonderful art form!<\/p>\n
