Folk Pysanka with Alternating Petals




This was loosely replicated from a folk pysanka posted by Luba Petrusha that was from Chernivtsi, Bukovyna.  Overall, my changes just made the pattern more regular. The "border" petals ended up being less visible from the front of the egg. Also, I just realized that I added an extra petal to make the main flower symmetrical (eight petals instead of seven).

Winter Wheat





This design was adapted from a diasporan pysanka on a UGS postcard. I've changed the details of some of the motifs and modified some of the colors.
