It is hard to reconstruct what went through my mind two decades ago when I likely began this egg, but it is more about lines than space.

Just a little more careful with the kistka!
I think I should have been just a little more careful with the wax and kistka on this egg. It suffers from what I call “hurry up and finish” syndrome, the story of my life. If I could just turn down the dial on the “speed” which seems to overpower my life I bet I could make better pyranky eggs.
Yet another pysanka egg:
Here is a little “less” delicate egg pysanka egg. I wonder if someone could figure out how to make a pattern that is really readable and post it as a pdf online. I tried that at one point many years ago, I will try to look up what I did then and see if it is really all that possible, or practical.
Here are two pysanky eggs from the 90s
Likely made at a similar point in time
Pysanky eggs: #5
I am just listing these eggs by number because I don’t want to figure out how else to do it. This is just a journal in case anyone wants to see how fun this particular technique is, and it is soooo simple. My kids and I did this on a regular basis for many years.
Little cockatiel egg with polymer clay striped cane
Little cockatiel egg with polymer clay striped cane made with glitter red, black and some metalic colors. The egg stand just over one inch high.
Pysanka egg: 4
I picked these eggs up out of the closet, so many of the designs I don’t even remember doing. I find it strange to look at some of the ideas that sprang into my head while doing these. It seems like yesterday, standing by the kitchen sink, holding a kistka, trying to squeeze some art that I loved into the rigors of being a mom and career person. How does anyone do it all. This particular egg looks to me like a “party”, ha ha, birthday party or something like that. I was obviously working on lines and dots in this particular case.
Sun and Moon: aka L’eggs Eggs
Does anyone but me remember the stockings that came in L’eggs egg containers? I thought those were the coolest containers, and frankly bought the stockings just for the containers (though I did wear the stockings in the 1980s or so when women still wore dresses and skirts to work.
I made many many easter eggs for kids and family from them. This is one that I happened to keep…. two sides of the sky, the sun and themoon. Likely thiswas just Marks-a-Lot, or Sharpie, I don’t even remember when Sharpies came on the market.
Sweet grandaughter’s egg for grandma-M
Four year old grandaughter used Fimo polymer clay to make this cute egg. She told me the name of the cartoon characters that she used, but I forgotten the name. Too cute.
Chicken egg mosaic
Chicken egg mosaic made with chicken egg shells and pysanky dyes, made the same way as previous post, this one has a red maltese cross design on each side, and a black background on the egg made prior to adding the colored shells.
