At the beginning of the 1990s Mrs. Urisk discovered egg ‘embroidery’, and then began a steadfast and passionate ethnographic research through reading, museum visits and the seeking out of the older women who still held the knowledge of the techniques of egg decoration. As she lives and works in Dobronak she began her researches there, later branching out into the villages ofHetés and then the whole of the Mura lands.

She now teaches egg decoration workshops and her own works are renowned in professional circles across the Carpathian Basin. In 2006 in Hungary she was awarded the title of ‘Folk Artist’. Elizabeta’s attraction to the art of egg ‘embroidery’ has inspired her to share her theoretical knowledge and practical experience with others by means of this book. In the book she first introduces the role of ‘embroidered’ pace eggs in popular culture through the Easter traditions of the Mura lands, then moves on to explain the techniques and motifs of egg dyeing and decoration, affording special attention to those of the Hétes area in particular. The book deals not only with theoretical matters but contains detailed instructions and a collection of motifs for those who wish try the batik technique to make their own ‘embroidered’ pace eggs in the style of the Mura lands.
