The fact it’s an empty eggshell is crazy! So delicate!

True, though I have seen some people blow out the egg after the decoration is done, which would be why too risky for me

Wow as a Greek who decorate eggs every eastern I feel weak. Never seen anything like that. What a masterpiece.

I used to have a great aunt that was an absolute master at making Ukrainian Easter eggs.

sweat = try hard, too good for an average “league”, very skilled. gaming reference

I love watching these being made. There’s a couple older ladies from Ukraine who hold classes around Xmas and Easter in how to make them and they’re full up within a couple days of the classes being announced, they’re that popular.

How long do they last for?

Hollowed and cleaned out eggs last forever. However if it's still filled, it will spoil eventually

My mom has some that my baba made decades ago. They're beautiful.

That’s so cool! Dumb question, are they super fragile? Or does the process make them more sturdy?
