Last Friday
NAWA hosted an
"All About The Arts In Hungary" day. It was fantastic! One of the activities was to learn to paint Hungarian Easter eggs. It was a ton of fun and quite the challenge!

Wax is put into the tip of a cone that is attached to a stick. Next, you place this tip over the candle flame to melt the wax. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLt69F9YSenfsYMKPjIUkxnTMA4XZ-NCdpJr_9muOTGcHRI7ZiMjaY2fMMGCCplav47MQ51iBhZMjMnYm2u7auJbKzmbQ9fBfTqLWsqwSUJ4-WD4zNEm_P21CztVkbU52RFV2hP4_TK3T4/s400/DSCF1052.jpg)

My finished eggs.
It was so hard to quickly draw your design with a steady hand.

If you know me, you know I love learning how things are made. This was such a treat that I got to actually to try my hand at this craft. And I got to tell you-it was so hard to make a straight line.

Oh WOW!! Um...my eggs have NEVER looked like that. LOL! Beautiful!
The other traditions are very interesting as well. I will try to post more later. It involves stinky perfume, and running from boys with bucket of water!
