Fleet of Fin




My own design.

This pysanka was written for a friend who was recently diagnosed with cancer. Therefore I filled it with symbols to promote health and overcoming adversity:

Fish: health
Wave meander: wealth
Spirals: mysteries of life and death, divinity and immortality; spirals are considered one of the most powerful symbols on pysanky because evil spirits become trapped in them.
Pine needles: eternal youth and health, stamina and growth
Ladders: rising above your problems
Eight-pointed star: life force, love of God

Color meanings:
Orange: strength, power, and endurance.
Blue: good health and fidelity
