Deer

UGS Design Book 3, Egg #21

Fishing Nets

I based this egg on the design in UGS 2011 Catalogue.

Snow Maiden

This egg uses the diagonal division.  I based the design on the crown of the Russian Snow Maiden by Boris Zworykin (The Firebird and Other Russian Fairy Tales, 1978).  

Four Circles Trinity

I adapted this design from one of Luba Perchyshyn's amazing ostrich eggs (UGS Design Book #5, Egg #26).

36 Stars

My mom did this egg.  It is based on a design by Luba Petrusha.  

Poppies and Wheat

My mother did this egg this past weekend.  The design is by Luba Petrusha.  

Stars, Crosses, and Flowers

This is my own design, but the trifold design with the orange flower and purple backdrop was inspired by one of Luba Perchyshyn's simpler designs offered in a UGS catalogue.

Getting the dyes started...

Hello, world! This spring I plan to share my family's Easter traditions with the blogosphere.  I hope to both introduce the beauty of psyanky, or Ukrainian Easter eggs, to the uninitiated and to connect with other pysanky artists.
