Verdant Pastures




This pysanka was inspired by the folk pysanka featured in  Elyjiw's Sixty Score of Easter Eggs (Table 40, No. 14), but at this point has taken on a life of its own with a different color scheme and additional motifs.

Hutsul Crosses




This is a near replica of a Hutsul pysanka from Kosmach featured in Elyjiw's Sixty Score of Easter Eggs (Table 41, No. 10). I did not quite get the desired contrast between the yellow and orange that I wanted. In the original, the orange is much more orange.

Adeeration of the Sun






This design is roughly based on two diasporan pysanky featured in Elyjiw's Sixty Score of Easter Eggs (Table 40, No. 1 and 2). I've changed the band a great deal, and altered the central rosette/sun motif.
