Bewitching Halloween Eggs  "... they were created with an ancient technique called pysanka, which loosely translates as “written upon.” The craft began six thousand years ago with a tribe of people called Trypillians, who lived in what is present-day Ukraine. Then, as today, eggs represented life and rebirth, and that made them ideal little canvases for good-luck symbols “painted” on with wax and dye. The art developed into what is now practiced in that part of the world during Easter: Eggs are adorned with wax drawings and dipped in dye, then held close to flickering flames—as the wax melts away, a design is revealed. These finished works of art are given to family and friends, and are thought to bring them health and happiness."
