A
pysanka (Ukrainian: plural:
pysanky) is a Ukrainian Easter egg,, decorated using a wax-resist (batik) method. The word comes from the verb
pysaty, "to write", as the designs are not painted on, but written with beeswax.. The word pysanka refers specifically to an egg decorated with traditional Ukrainian folk designs, and is not a generic term for any egg decorated using wax resist.
This egg with horses is a traditional Ukrainian folk design. It is one of my favorites and it hangs on my egg tree in my studio!
Many Halloween and fall eggs will be on display during the Arts and Eats tour on October 20-21, 2012.
Studio Hours on those days are: 10 am -5 pm
