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.

Verdant Pastures
This pysanka was inspired by the folk pysanka featured in Elyjiw's Sixty Score of Easter Eggs (Table 40, No. 14), but at this point has taken on a life of its own with a different color scheme and additional motifs.

Hutsul Crosses
This is a near replica of a Hutsul pysanka from Kosmach featured in Elyjiw's Sixty Score of Easter Eggs (Table 41, No. 10). I did not quite get the desired contrast between the yellow and orange that I wanted. In the original, the orange is much more orange.

Adeeration of the Sun
This design is roughly based on two diasporan pysanky featured in Elyjiw's Sixty Score of Easter Eggs (Table 40, No. 1 and 2). I've changed the band a great deal, and altered the central rosette/sun motif.
