... here are my self-decorated Easter eggs. They can't be seen as well as the other ones, as they're hanging from a branch, but still...

Are those pussy willow branches?

Yes, they are. We managed to find particularly thick and pretty ones this year.

The designs look very intricate and I love the colors.

Thanks. I prefer to work on a deep red background. Only the black ones have been done on orange yellow. As for the designs, those are original patterns from Hungarian folkore. I've got a book on just Easter egg patterns that explains in great detail what the individual elements like the hayfork or the stars or so on mean. They all have their own symbolic value, and that's why I work with these motifs.
