Many people are familiar with the brightly colored Ukranian eggs that appear at Easter time, but decorating eggs can be a year-round craft. Many decorated eggs are fragile works of art that are saved for years and are highly prized by their owners. Pollak's projects are an eclectic selection of designs from many cultures, all applied to eggshells by using a wax-and-dye technique similar to batik. They are wonderfully varied and include cut eggshell jewelry as well as whole decorated eggs.
