In southern Slovenia, women gather around tables to carve delicate patterns into Easter eggs dyed with onion skins. The craft, known as ‘drsanke’, is closely tied to the Bela Krajina region.
Using small knives or scissors, makers scrape designs directly onto the shell. Floral, animal and religious motifs appear in fine detail. Each egg takes about an hour to complete, turning a simple object into a personal, handmade gift.
