A pysanka (Ukrainian: писанка, plural: pysanky) is a Ukrainian Easter egg, decorated with traditional Ukrainian folk designs using a wax-resist method. The word pysanka comes from the verb pysaty, "to write" or "to inscribe", as the designs are not painted on, but written (inscribed) with beeswax.
Similarly one may ask, how do you make a blown egg?
Shake the egg up to scramble the insides. Hold the egg over your bowl (bottom/fatter side down) and blow through the hole at the top of the egg. Keep blowing until the egg shell is completely empty. Rinse the egg in warm soapy water, making sure to clean out the inside of the egg as well as the outside.
