Pysanky: egg – blues and purple

I can remember exactly who first gave me a set of 3 or 4 pysanky egg dyes. I must have been middle aged, but for decades had tried to accomplish with traditional egg dyes and a paint brush the bright colors and fine lines found in pypysanky_egg_1sanky eggs. Thank you Jan. You gave me years of fun and egg making.
Here is an egg that was given to a colleague sometime in the early 1990s. It is not ‘wonderful’ like some very well trained artists’ pysanka. It was returned to me when that person planned a move out of the country, so I thought I would share it.  Several others I will post as well.
I would recommend the Ukranian Gift Shop for pysanky dyes and kistkas, I have used them for years.
