How it's made
For hundreds of years the custom of painting eggs with bees wax and a stick with an iron tip is an art. To paint the eggs, the peasants don't use synthetic dyes, but rather natural herbs. They can obtain red from apple leaves and wild rose, green from walnut leaves and sunflower, yellow from peel onions, blue from violet flowers, black from nutshell. They dip the egg in the lightest colour to be used. When heated, the protective wax melts away, and a new pattern can be added. Then another dip in a different colour is added, and so on.
