There's a little more than a week until Easter, today I'll share the Easter eggs I only wish I could have made when I was a kid.
Who says math can't be beautiful? Certainly not pugnoM.
Many of these eggs, such as the graph one and the one below, are made using a Ukranian wax-resist method and are called pysanky.

But
enough with wax. How about paper? These come from the Easter Egg
Museum in Ukraine, but they're of Polish tradition and design. (In
related news, there's an Easter Egg Museum.)

Or, if your fine motor skills are anything like mine, you can use film for the really intricate eggs.

You know that phrase "go big or go home?" Yeah, that's what the person who painted this ostrich egg had in mind.

What I don't like about store-bought dyes is they're so uniform. Not so if you make your own dye...

In Greece, you can buy pre-dyed eggs in markets during the week or so leading up to Easter.

Want more pictures? I got pictures. Want more nature? There's plenty of nature to go around.
