Autumn Sun

This pysanky is very loosely based on one by Taras Horodetsky and the parts that are mine (the medallions with the star or deer) are greatly influenced by his style.

Some Pysanky with Floral Motifs

This pysanka has many agricultural touches -- with wheat and rakes. Rakes signify putting things in order and good husbandry.

Both of these designs are adapted from Luba Perchyshyn's worksheets (from Ukrainain Gift Shop). The color schemes are both my own. Flowers represent charity and good will.

Acid-etched 12-Diamonds/Overlapping Circles

Traditional design etched on a blue chicken egg. 

Acid-Etched Fawns

Roughly based off of a fawn design included in materials from Luba Perchyshyn and the Ukrainian Gift Shop.

Paska

This design is adapted from one that appears in Eggs Beautiful -- in particular, I changed the border. This traditional design is called "Paska" because it looks like the top of paska bread, a traditional bread made at Easter.

Eight Triangles Division

A design featured in Elyjiw's Sixty Score of Easter Eggs with my own (non-traditional) coloration. 

My own design etched, then dyed black, on a duck egg. 

I have only come across a few examples of this division in books on Folk Pysanky. The division divides the egg in half down its length, an then divides the egg in fourths with diagonal lines. The triangles created often are isosceles triangles (depending on how round your egg is) and can be divided into increasing numbers of triangles. Another example appears here.
