Easter eggs
Easter eggs – one of the crumbliest part of folk
art. It is a kind of arts and crafts. Colouring of eggs
connects elements of painting and graphics. From
ancient times to the present days adults and
children, people of village and town paint them.
   The custom of painting eggs is associated with the
rites of spring holidays . Eggs were coloured for the
Easter, the Sunday after Easter and St. George's Day.
• Until the XX century eggs were
  painted mostly with vegetative
  dyes – onion shells, birch
  leaves, hay, rind of oak or alder.
  There were also used a wide
  range of grasses, berries and
  tree bark. These things give
  brownish, greenish and
  yellowish tints.
Eggs were painted in two ways:
• erasing patterns with a needle, shaver or knife
  onto one colour painted egg top
• and drawing patterns on egg with a hot
  beeswax, using a stick or drawing-pin.
Coloured scraping
     Painted or boiled in dyes eggs
     are scraped with a knife in
     various patterns. Decorating
     eggs in this way, the pattern is
     usually very fine and openwork;
     lines are graphic and angular.
     Sometimes these patterns
     developed and it becomes an
     excellent graphical
     representation of the pattern,
     just a piece of graphics.
Painting with a beeswax
  An egg is painted after it had
been covered with a beeswax.
To obtain a colorful letter the
surface of the egg is covered
with wax and placed in the paint
several times, starting with the
brightest and finishing with the
darkest colour. There is
dominating a geometric
ornament. Prints are made up of
dots and dashes, resembling an
elongated drop.
Painting patterns
    Various patterns are arranged of these two elements.
 Patterns in the compositions are connected with dots and
 curves. Even a small regrouping of elements in the letter
 can change the entire composition, making it difficult to
 find even two identical patterns Easter eggs.
 The patterns are made up of meaningful geometric signs
 and symbols from the ancient times. A big variety of
 characters are used on eggs. The sun, crosses, spirals,
 grass-snakes, rings, teeth, trees, bird’s feet, Rues and etc.
     Harmoniously arranged dots, dashes, collar curves,
 triangles, rhombuses, crosses creates a celestial images -
 innumerable variations of suns and stars .
     Repeating a twining grass-snake, coil, horn on the egg
 highlights an oval of the egg .
     Primordial symbols mixed to the outer - the flora and
 the birds’ motives.
• Easter eggs were given as gifts,
  offered to and used for the beginning
  of sowing and grazing celebrations
  and festivals.
• Not only the festive table is
  decorated with Easter eggs. They are
  gifts for guests and relatives, mostly
  children. Easter eggs are exchanged,
  they are being broken and rolled.
  People called „lalaukininkai” collect
  them with other gifts. games of
  breaking and rolling eggs are also
  very popular.
