Pysanky redux

Aha! The dye I ordered for my eggs arrived! And plenty of wax too. Excellent. :D

I went with so-called "Trypillian" colour scheme this year (like these). I don't think I'll go with that style of design, but I do like the palette. Last year I used yellow/orange/red/black, so this earthy aesthetic isn't that much of a departure, but still different enough. If I don't like the results this year, I'll just go back first year's palette.

(I do have packets of blue and green somewhere, but I never bothered to use them.)

Hmm, I have eight shells hollowed out... that's more than enough. Mom wants me to do a complete dozen, but no!! Eight is already too many! Especially since she insisted on keeping the batch from last year - I have absolutely no idea why; I had intended these to be disposable crafts. OH WELL.

Last year, I tried to do all of the pysanky in the span of two days... that was kind of too much all at once. It was exhausting. I'm going to try to space it out a bit more this year. Hopefully that will go as planned. ;p
