This Easter I made traditional Polish pisanki (they're also known in the US as Ukrainian pysanky). I've never made them before so I picked a few simple designs to start with and then a couple slightly more complex ones (nothing crazy). Here were the results of the 5 I managed to make over the weekend.

Here is the reverse of the egg in the front row:

| Ode to Lola. |
She was quite pleased with her egg, though I don't think she was too pleased with the amount of time I spent working on it and not playing with her. Here are some photos of the egg during its creation:
