Deer that Graze in Frozen Fields

This pysanka was inspired by a diasporan pysanka in a UGS postcard that had a traditional color scheme but a similar barrel division and deer motif. Everything else has shifted and changed quite a bit -- I've taken out a lot of the resheto, or cross-hatching, that was in the original, and I've altered the details of the crosses.

A Twist on Hustul Fish

I adapted this pysanka from a Hutsul design I posted recently (Hutsul Fish), mostly making changes in the color combination (entirely modern, here) and the placement of the fish.

Hutsul Fish

This pysanka is a near replica of a folk pysanka from Vira Manko's The Ukrainian Folk Pysanka (Table 16, No. 27), Kosmach, Kosiv Region, Ivano-Frankivs'k Province. The fish changed the most in my rendering, but don't look all the healthier for it.
