Snowflake Pysanky |
|
All eggs come carefully packed in their own box, with an ornament hook - perfect for wrapping, shipping or storing. $5 each |
Each egg is created using a resist wax dye method (colours go on , then resist is applied to "keep" the colour desired before going into the next dye). These are made using traditional Ukrainian methods but with modern motifs. Pysanky itself dates back well before Christianity and pieces of dyed egg shells have been found that are over 3000 years old. With Christianity, many symbols were added into pysanky and older symbols and colours were adapted to fit the new religion. In traditional Pysanky, each colour has its own symbolism: |
