Pair of Fish (Goose Egg)


My own design with inspiration from a fish pysanka featured in Ukrainian Easter Eggs: How We Make Them.

Stylized flowers


Based on a design by Luba Perchyshyn with my own coloration.

Acid-Etched (and dyed) Pysanky -- Yet Another Geometrical Study of Crosses and Stars



This is my own design... still working towards a balance of features (for example, it might work better on a jumbo duck egg or a goose egg). I've tried it both as an etched egg and with the typical dying process with some small differences.
