Pysanky Making

So it's been a while since I've made Psanky. I really wish I had more time to work on them, but being a full time graduate student and an Assistant Rector doesn't lend itself to having much spare time to work on making decorative Ukrainian Easter eggs, especially ones that take 2-3 hours to do and also- there's always the whole "should I as a leader in the hall be breaking Du Lac (student handbook policy) by having lit candles in my room?" (required for working on the Psanky)? After all, I'm not above the law... but wasn't there something about the "spirit" of the law? Could using candles for Psanky making be considered keeping the "spirit" of the law? Perhaps I am rationalizing.... tee hee.

Here's some pics of the eggs I made over the summer:
