Yes, it was alot of fun and I have to say that my eggs turned out well for a math geek!  All of the eggs looked great! I can't wait until my DD is old enough to do it.

 Mary G., Mary Ann, and Beth! I'm so happy you are enjoying it, and the materials are good.
I uploaded some of my pysanky from years past here. Two are made by dh, two made by professionals, 3 are mine. Here's the slideshow.
My mother has the eggs I made from permanent markers, my very first imitation attempts. One day I'll photograph them.

We had such fun with the pysanky eggs! It seemed that in the last few days of Holy Week, there was always someone at the table working on an egg. Two of my sons were home from college, and one brought his girlfried for the break. She is Methodist, but found it very interesting that we were going to church for Easter. She did a wonderful job with the eggs; actually made quite a few. She also found it very curious that I made hot cross buns and lamb cake too. My 2 youngest explained the icons that they had colored for Easter too. Perhaps we struck a spark of faith??

Oh, that's just too great! Symbols can be a seed! I was just talking with my sister about how the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd works with symbols and types of Christ to teach the Faith...just like with eggs.
And thanks for the compliments. I hope when ds is a bit older to be able to leave an egg decorating "station" so it can be done more often. Wouldn't that be fun? Your description reminds me of the year I started decorating with permanent markers (Sharpies). I just spent all my spare time with eggs in hand.

Just had to share this here, although it's not true pysanky. We color our hb eggs with crayons (paschal symbols), then dye them with Paas, like most people in America. My second daughter (8) showed me one she designed all by herself: rings, starting at bottom of egg: birth of Jesus; next ring, Jesus preaching the Gospel; third ring, Jesus dies on the cross; fourth ring, the resurrection; at the top of the egg, Jesus seated at the right hand of the Father.
It was so cool to watch the children absorb the Paschal mystery and "narrate" it onto their eggs.

Wow Celeste -- that sounds so cool. Don't you love when they take something and run with it.... a marvelous bonus to worrying about what you're teaching 'em and are they really gettin' it?
