A painted Ukrainian Easter egg

Our egg-painting kit, with eight syluses, seven colours prepared, paper towel, the wax, a carton of hollowed out eggs, and other supplies arranged on the canvas worktop.

Four eggs on a blue tarp, flowery or with wheat sheaves, and one that isn't yet painted, but has some wax applied.

An egg with a purple background, and a star shape in the middle, alternating orange and striped purple, which the unfinished egg turned into.

An intricately patterened egg, with many red and yellow diamonds, and a general star design to the egg.
