Geometric with Stars
My own design inspired by a pysanka by Iryna Mykhalevych. This is a riff on a traditional division that is a variation of saddlebags.

Sunshine (in All Cardinal Directions)
This is a near-replica of a folk pysanka from Kosmach featured in Elyjiw's Sixty Score of Easter Eggs (Table 72, No. 16). I slightly modified the motif encircling the suns.

Hutsul Pysanka with Crosses
This is a modification of a Hutsul pysanka featured in Elyjiw's Sixty Score of Easter Eggs (Table 41, No. 11). The biggest change is the small bands across the front of the pysanka, in which I replaced the original cross-hatched regions with the white boarder with crosses to better complement the large vertical band.
