Friday Eggs

Traditional Pysanky Design in Red, Black and White


This week we are back to traditional style!  A customer at Artworks bought two eggs in process, so essentially sight unseen, that were traditional style.  As soon as it stops raining I will be able to varnish them and get them delivered.  In the meantime, I have been playing with the same design a bit and here you can see the same basic traditional geometric design with minor tweaks (because I can't do the same thing twice!) on a chicken egg and a goose egg. I was a bit surprised at how little the dynamism was affected by the difference in size.  Sometimes working on a larger egg makes the design less exciting somehow, but I think it works on both sizes here.  What do you think?
