My Mom was born in eastern Europe and loved to color and decorate easter eggs. Before coloring she would use hot wax, pin and the end of a pencil eraser to make designs. Then dye the egg. After the color job she would take a warm cloth and remove the wax to reveal the color under neath. We would do this all weekend. Great fun for a little kid. AND the egg salad samiches afterwards.. Good times..
