Wheat with Swallows


My own design.

Interesting note -- the swallow is the only bird shown flying on pysanky... traditionally, birds are drawn at rest, as seen on "Bird with Leafy Sprig" and "Firebird".

On this egg:
Wheat: good, bountiful harvest
Flower: good will and charity
Swallow: the coming of spring
Cross: crucifixion
Triangles: trinity
Diamonds: knowledge

Final color blue: truth, good health, and fidelity
