Egg-stra special time!

What a fun evening. I'm sad some of you didn't make it, but for those of us who did, we had an "egg-stra" special time learning how to create the Ukranian eggs. Kristen did a great job sharing her craft with us. Thanks Kristen for being our guest!

Here's what we did:

1. We ate! And we got to know our newest member, Elisha!


2. We met Kristen!






3. We sketched!







4. We used a "kiska" to put wax on our eggs in the design we sketched.








5. We melted the wax and wiped it away, leaving either the white of the egg shell or the dyed color we started with. (So ultra cool.)

March Egg-stravaganza!

Hey everybody!

Let's get together 7 p.m. March 11 at Chrissy's house to learn the art of Ukranian Easter egg decorating, called pysanky. One of my staff members at The Bee learned this art from her Ukranian grandmother. She has agreed to share what she knows with us and let us try a very simple design.

Supplies: A No. 2 pencil
Fee: $5

Kristen will provide everything. I'll provide the eggs.
