Collection of Easter Eggs (pisanki) decorated using batik method by Krystyna Majewska from Gdansk, Poland

---

'To transfer the wax I use a pin stuck into a penholder with its head facing down. The egg is emptied by small hole. I start by dividing the shell into sections using a pencil. I close the hole with wax and transfer hot wax onto the egg with the pin. This part of the design will remain the colour of the shell. I then put the egg into a colour bath before adding other parts of the designs. This process can be repeated as many times as one wish. The last bath is the darkest and will create a background to contrast with the rest of the design. The wax is removed by warming the egg over a gas fire'. Krystyna Majewska
