More Folk Pysanky

From Vira Manko's The Ukrainian Folk Pysanka (Table 30, No. 3, from the Nemyriv region, Vinnytsia province). "Dubove lystia" or Oak Leaves. Oak leaves represent strength and persistence. 

Adapted from a pysanka featured in Vira Manko's The Ukrainian Folk Pysanka (Table 30, No. 25, ). This is the "savky" or saddlebags division with star-rosettes. 

Adapted from pysanky in Vira Manko's The Ukrainian Folk Pysanka (Table 30, No.'s 15 and 22, both from the Vinnytsia province). The colors have been changed from the traditional red or yellow and black to yellow and green. This pattern  makes a rosette pattern when you look down on the top of the pysanka.

From Vira Manko's The Ukrainian Folk Pysanka (Table 38, No. 6, from Kamjanka, Novhorodka region, Kirovohrad province). A more faithful reproduction would probably have had a redder pink. This design forms a rosette that can be seen looking down on the pysanka.

Adapted from a pysanka in Vira Manko's The Ukrainian Folk Pysanka (Table 29, No. 10, from the Yavorivka, Pishchanka region, Vinnytsia province). "Sosonka" or Little Pine. The background color has been changed from black to a dark green. I have also altered the "fill" of the leaves to look more like leaf veins instead of just stripes.
This design really charmed me... I'm going to revisit it a few more times.

I've been making many simpler, folk pysanky as I get ready for the Holiday Market coming up next weekend. I find the process of making the simpler patterns much different from the more intricate ones. They can be more frustrating because your mistakes are much more obvious. I also find I get strangely attached to them in the process of writing them.
