Hutsul Horses

This pysanka is a modified replica of a folk pysanka featured in Elyjiw's Sixty Score of Easter Eggs (Table 49, No. 9). The motif on the ends of the egg is my own, since it is not entirely visible in the original picture. The placement/spacing of the horses and trees has more of a modern quality than the original. 

Pink Petals

This design is modified from a Hutsul folk pysanka from Kosmach featured in Elyjiw's Sixty Score of Easter Eggs (Table 51, No. 15). I changed the color scheme and some of the motifs.

Mexican Pottery

This design is based on a ceramic mug I bought in Mexico City this summer. Here, I've applied colored wax to a brown egg and left it on, such as in the Romanian style.

Dianthus

My own design.

Rams (Etched Duck Egg)

This design is based on a Hutsul division (usually depicting horses) popularized by Taras Horodetsky. The mottled colors you see are natural to the egg. The duck left large smears of dark bloom on the egg.

Lemko Drop-Pull Style

These are both Lemko designs reproduced with small modifications from a picture from Yulia Burko (Юлія Бурко). This technique uses a different stylus -- instead of writing with a heated funnel, a heated pin in dipped in molten wax and used to make strokes of wax on the egg shell.

Geometric with Windmills

My own design and close relative of Geometric with Stars. This division is an embellished variation on a folk division related to saddlebags or sakvy.
