Flying Close to the Sun II



I was working on this update to Flying Close to the Sun at the Pysanky USA Retreat, however the pysanka did not make it past red before rolling on the floor and breaking! I decided to clean off the wax anyway and am mystified at how well the colors work together despite being incomplete. I am planning to do some variations on this with this color scheme in mind. Pardon the "dirty" appearance as I couldn't completely clean the wax off because of the large cracks.

Many of the motifs in this pysanka are inspired by the work of Taras Horodetsky although the overall composition is my own work.
