Hutsul Horses




This pysanka is a modified replica of a folk pysanka featured in Elyjiw's Sixty Score of Easter Eggs (Table 49, No. 9). The motif on the ends of the egg is my own, since it is not entirely visible in the original picture. The placement/spacing of the horses and trees has more of a modern quality than the original.

Pink Petals




This design is modified from a Hutsul folk pysanka from Kosmach featured in Elyjiw's Sixty Score of Easter Eggs (Table 51, No. 15). I changed the color scheme and some of the motifs.

Mexican Pottery




This design is based on a ceramic mug I bought in Mexico City this summer. Here, I've applied colored wax to a brown egg and left it on, such as in the Romanian style.
