Pysanky is an ancient and beautiful form of folk art from the Ukraine. It consists of the decoration of eggs using beeswax and dyes. This art is most popular in a Ukrainian household near Easter time when eggs are created as gifts for family and friends. The symbols and designs on Pysanky eggs have special symbols and color meanings.
Pysanky are eggs (either whole raw eggs, or hollow) which have been decorated with a wax-resist method where one draws (or "writes," as Ukrainians would say) those portions of the design which you want to remain the color underneath the wax.
Tate was kind of like a celebrity!
