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.

Trypillian Eggs
Although the motifs are ancient and come from pottery made by the Trypillians, a Neolithic–Eneolithic archaeological people in Eastern Europe (ca. 4800 to 3000 BC), adapting these designs to pysanky is a fairly modern task. The designs are fairly challenging since they involve more curved lines than traditional or diasporan pysanky. Both of these designs have been written from unknown online sources.
