It is said that as long as pysanky (Ukrainian Easter eggs) are being made somewhere in the world, the balance between good and evil is maintained. This blog is a record of my own contributions to saving the world from evil.

Some Folk Designs
Oak Leaves and Acorns (strength and persistence; acorns represent preparing for the future) |
Sun (life force or God's love) |
The border has many meanders: a wave meander (wealth and baptism), a vine meander with berries (life, a bountiful harvest or rewards for good deeds), and a saw (fire, life-giving heat). |
Plant Motif (spring, renewal and creation) |
Flower Motif (charity and good will) |

Four Seasons Deer (II)
This is a reworking and re-coloration of Egg No. 13 from Ukrainian Easter Egg Design Book 2 which I posted in its original form (and another more ornate form) as "Four Seasons" in December 2012.

Morning Swallows (Goose Egg)
This is my own design using a variant of the saddlebags division. The coloration is non-traditional. See also an earlier and simpler version of this design concept with Acid-Etched Swallows.
