40 Days of Pysanky 12: Our Nets, They Were Heavy with Stars

This is an original design that is so fresh, I think it's still in a draft stage. We'll see what comes up next time I set my kiska to it.

40 Days of Pysanky 11: Windmill with Wheat

This is a design featured in the UGS beginner kit. The border design is my own invention, in attempt to match the windmill pattern.

40 Days of Pysanky 10: Cross with Pine

This design is slightly modified from UGS Ukrainian Design Book 1, No. 2.

40 Days of Pysanky 9: Daring Daffodils

My own design using some traditional motifs.

40 Days of Pysanky 8: Meet Me Under the Cherry Tree

This is a replica of a pysanka by Luba Perchyshyn, of UGS. It is featured in the back of Design Book 5.

40 Days of Pysanky 7: Little Spiders

This pysanka is a replica of a folk pysanka from Vira Manko's The Ukrainian Folk Pysanka (Table 22, No. 24), from Ternopil Province. It's named "Pavuchy," or "Little Spiders."

40 Days of Pysanky 6: Along the Dnipro

This is an earlier version of this pysanka where I used yellow before pink in order to match the colors better. I wasn't able to get a very good contrast between the lighter and darker pinks -- however, I think I still prefer this color scheme to the one with the pastel pink above.

This is a replica of a folk pysanka from central Ukraine featured in Zenon Elyjiw's Sixty Score of Easter Eggs (Table 47, No. 16).
