Christmas Rushnyk


My own design based on popular division derived from saddlebags ("savky"). Rushnychok are traditional cross-stitched cloths. 

I made this for a Christmas egg exchange and I just learned that the colors happened to correspond to the recipient's family tartan colors -- what a great coincidence!

Swallows with Leaf Sprigs




Loosely based on a Hutsul pysanka from Vira Manko's The Ukrainian Folk Pysanka (Ivano-Frankivs'k, Kosmach, Kosiv region; Table 15, No. 3).

Green Rosettes (Jumbo Duck Egg)



My own design using a division that is not traditional for Ukrainian pysanky but is seen in pysanky from other Eastern European traditions.
