Draw on the lines as illustrated in the diagram
with a pencil. Draw these lines very lightly, and
they will not show up in the final design.

Front (1) shows the egg divided into eighths. You start by drawing
one long line around the longest part of the egg, until it meets up with
itself. Next, draw a long line at a right
angle to this one, until it meets up with itself. Lastly, draw one line
around the middle of the egg. Now the egg is divided into 8 equal
sized parts.

Front (2). Curls are very common motifs on pysanky, so it's important to learn how to do them! This egg
is good practice. Draw the curling line, as shown.

|
Front (3). Continue to draw the curling lines as shown, in groups of 4, wherever the guidelines intersect in a cross (4 times around the
middle, and once on the top and bottom).
