When you look at this book the first thing you see is the beautiful photography that has been done. Then you look at how easy the directions are for each egg. I have never seen a book so wonderfully done. The beginner can start right away and do something beautiful while there are also challenges for the hobbiest that has decorated eggs for a long time. I thought the most wonderful thing was how to decorate eggs to look like battenberg lace. This is just a wonderful book and worth every penny of the price.

A great little book on decorating eggs.
As we have had extra eggs to play with, I have enjoyed doing the different styles.
Not every egg has to be Ukranian of for Easter. The different styles give beginning and expert egg artists lots of ideas to build upon.
I have enjoyed having it in my library, and go back for review it every time I am decorating eggs.

I just got this book and can't wait to get started on some of the ideas they have in here.

Although this is a lovely book on Embossed egg decorating, the cover is very deceiving as it shows nothing but Ukrainian Eggs (Pysanky) on the front and back cover. The cover doesn't show one embossed egg and that is what almost all of the book covers (with a few pages on decoupage and stamps on eggs).The book does not include ANYTHING on Ukrainian eggs. When I saw the cover and read the description, I assumed it covered various methods of egg decorating (INCLUDING Pysanky), but I was disappointed when I received it because there is nothing on Pysanky and nothing I can use. Like I said, it is a LOVELY book on embossing, if that's what you are looking for, but if you are looking for Pysanky designs and information, you will be VERY disappointed.

I have used this book constantly since buying it. I am not even using it as directed, with melted wax, but with paint, and still getting wonderful results. Lots of clear photos to guide you and suggestions for less expensive tools.
