more pysanky


I finished up a couple more pysanky eggs.

This first one is one I've been trying to complete for years. Every time I start it, it gets broken! lol  This year was going to be my final attempt.  I wanted to make it to replace a MUCH better version made by a lady that I bought it from at a holiday bazaar at her house. She was an amazing pysanky artist, and her egg was perfect. But it broke in a move and I was disappointed to lose it.

When a friend taught me how to do this technique myself, I vowed to make one, but never could get it to last long enough to finish. LOL  If this one does not survive the egg drying process, I will not replace it.

This orange and red one is a simpler design I decided to do to give my brain a break. The non-visible side has a big screw up... but I don't care.

I still have the stuff out. I may try to get another egg done before March is over. :)

Blessed Ostara!


We went to a friend's house for the day, and realized that we should try balancing an egg. We did it! It was kind of funny. :)


My friend always keeps a pysanky table set up during the spring. She asks everyone if they'd like to try it out and make an egg for her house. Almost everyone does of course, even if they've never done it before. I love doing pysanky so of course I made one!

When Kevin and I got home, I made another pysanky egg as the next morning would be a community Ostara celebration and I wanted to take an egg for that. This is the one I came up with for the celebration. :)

Have a Blessed Ostara!
