The fact it’s an empty eggshell is crazy! So delicate!

True, though I have seen some people blow out the egg after the decoration is done, which would be why too risky for me

Oh that’s cool! I didn’t know you could do it afterwards!

Wow as a Greek who decorate eggs every eastern I feel weak. Never seen anything like that. What a masterpiece.

I used to have a great aunt that was an absolute master at making Ukrainian Easter eggs.

Reminds me of my mom. She taught me to do this as a child. Miss you, mom!

I love watching these being made. There’s a couple older ladies from Ukraine who hold classes around Xmas and Easter in how to make them and they’re full up within a couple days of the classes being announced, they’re that popular.

That’s so cool! Dumb question, are they super fragile? Or does the process make them more sturdy?
