Pisanki/Pysanky – it’s that time of year!

Sat. March 20th was our 5th annual egg dying party! since my birthday (today) usually falls somewhere a week of two before easter, we combine it with our love of pysanky and have an egg dying creative fun time :)   these are the results!

these first two eggs were made as examples for the people who came to our egg dying party. the star pattern was made to show how a simple 8 pointed star could be made complex by adding more and more pattern detail. the confetti egg is an example of how random squiggles can end up making a beautiful and complex egg.

these next two eggs were just for fun. the first was my first egg of 2010… and was based on one from an old pysanky book we have for inspiration. the second was the egg I made during the party.
