#photooftheday These are traditional painted #eastereggs from Poland called #pisanki.

Some are ones my Grandmother brought back for me as a little kid, others I bought myself later.

They can be blown eggshells, or made of painted wood.

Many East European countries have this tradition, and similar names for them (eg in Ukraine they are known as #pisanky).

They are often decorated in styles unique to the region.

We watched Dune again last night and right on cue, an Egg Fremmen has appeared from the desert*

Been painting British birds on hard boiled Easter eggs this morning. Male Bullfinch, Robin and Bluetit.

The humble egg 🥚
is the oval vessel of life

Fragile
yet strong
when it is pointed
to the heavens above

Our hearts are like eggs
containing supple gold

They can be broken
But they are best kept
by taking care of them
and by pointing them
to a higher place

I am consistently inconsistent in using Pixelfed! Sorry. A lot has happened since February, mainly I deleted my Insta so I only ever upload photos on VSCO (which is anti-social... Which is why I like it). I'll try to use PF more from now on. I really like how it works now.

So, here are some Easter eggs! I used Faber-Castell felt tip pens for the birds, and some odd "glitter gel" for eggs that my mom bought. Not super happy with those, but they do look kind of interesting. #easter #paintedeggs
