Crosses

This pysanka is slightly modified from one featured in Ukrainian Easter Eggs and How We Make Them. It features two kinds of crosses, the typical cross, which looks like a t,  and the "sloping cross" or "St. Andrew's Cross," which looks like an X. Both of these symbols have meanings in the pagan and Christian traditions.

Mock "Scratch" Pysanka

One type of Easter egg in the polish tradition is skrobanki, or scratched eggs. Here, I've adapted a skrobanka featured in Jerzy Lipka's book, Almost Everything about Eggs, but used the batik (wax and dye) techniques. In a typical skrobanka, the white lines would be the deepest scratches, and the yellow lines would be lighter scratches.

Blue Flower Bouquet ("embossed" style drop-pull)

This design with "embossed" colored waxes is loosely based off of a dyed drop-pull pysanka featured in Larry Kozlowski's compilation of Slavic patterns.
