Shot Notes

Pysanky are traditional Ukrainian Easter eggs. They are decorated using a wax-resist method, in which you draw patterns using hot wax and a stylus (kystka), and then dying it. This process is completed until all colors desired were applied, and then the wax is melted off, revealing the ornate patterns and colors underneath.

These pysanky are housed at the House of Ukraine, in Balboa Park’s International Cottages.
