Rams (Etched Duck Egg)



This design is based on a Hutsul division (usually depicting horses) popularized by Taras Horodetsky. The mottled colors you see are natural to the egg. The duck left large smears of dark bloom on the egg.

Lemko Drop-Pull Style







These are both Lemko designs reproduced with small modifications from a picture from Yulia Burko (Юлія Бурко). This technique uses a different stylus -- instead of writing with a heated funnel, a heated pin in dipped in molten wax and used to make strokes of wax on the egg shell.

Geometric with Windmills


My own design and close relative of Geometric with Stars. This division is an embellished variation on a folk division related to saddlebags or sakvy.
