Flying Close to the Sun

This interesting division came from a pysanka by Patty Wiszuk-De Angelo featured on the Pysanky Showcase website. The design is my own, although highly influenced by Taras Horodetsky's style.

Design References

Some of my posts make references to "UGS" catalogues and books. These are publications of Ukrainian Gift Shop, Inc. To date, they have compiled five books of egg designs. I try to acknowledge them or Luba Perchyshyn (whose designs predominate the books) when I use their designs.

Two additional books sold by UGS and associated with their shop are Eggs Beautiful: How to Make Ukrainian Easter Eggs by Johanna Luciow, Ann Kmit, and Loretta Luciow (1975); and Ukrainian Easter Eggs and How We Make Them by Anne Kmit, Loretta Luciow, Johanna Luciow, and Luba Perchyshyn (1979).

I am lucky to own Zenon Elyjiw's Sixty Score of Easter Eggs: A Comprehensible Album of Ukrainian Easter Eggs (1994). The artists whose eggs are featured in this compilation go unnamed, so I will just cite the book when I use designs from this source.

I also use designs and get inspiration from other pysanky artists, and I will credit them when necessary.
