EASTER EGGS

. I have to admit right off the top that today's pictures are all culled from the Internet, and I probably won't have the time to do the ridiculous amount of work-arounds it takes to put pictures in any kind of order on blogspot when you are working from the iPad.

Zoe and I are going to Ukraine next month, (May) so I have been looking on the Internet for ideas of what kinds of treasures I might want to bring home so I can decide how full my suitcase wlll be on the way out.
And of course, my "problem" is that I love decorated eggs, which I have been collecting for more years than I care to admit. And Ukraine is Mecca for this.
But if you look at enough google images of ukrainian Easter eggs, you will eventually find other kinds of Easter eggs, and then I just go into overload with the pictures. So here they are. The first picture is of the Ukrainian pysanka museum, which is too far away from our tour to make a side trip to see it, but the museum itself is built to make you feel you are walking into an egg.  The next four pictures are eggs in that museum:  an egg decorated in straw, a picture of two beaded eggs, (sort of atypical decorations,) one that's described as a bead appliqué, and one that appears to be decorated with cloth.

The next few pictures are from a site called Mental Floss and include various eggs made by artists.

And finally, the very last picture is a very cool bunch of deviled eggs. The key to these is to peel the hard boiled eggs and then dye them. I can't wait to try this. If mine work, I'll post a picture.
