Update about blogCa

Who knew all this would happen afterwards! Flat Creek in November, 2024. Much changed by the force of the hurricane floods in Sept. 2024. The deck of the bridge is now under that pile of debris.

Happy Easter


In honor of the Ukranian artists who developed Pysanky Eggs.   This artist is from Nova Scotia Canada.


More Pysansky Eggs by So Jo Leo of Canada.

Today's quote:

People share a common nature but are trained in gender roles. 

-Lillie Devereux Blake, novelist, essayist, and reformer (12 Aug 1833-1913)



 CNN's 5 Things Newsletter said:  April 17 is Easter Sunday, the day Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ on the third day after his crucifixion. It also marks the end of the 40-day period of penance called Lent. Easter is considered to be the most important season of the Christian year.

      I painted many an egg, usually little faces and made paper hats to go with...but never a pysansky! I've always loved their beauty!

      As a fellow craftsperson, I understand your feelings. We often think, I could do that...but on these eggs, nah. So glad So Jo Leo did them!

    Barbara, Love those Pysanky Eggs! They are beautiful for sure. No way I've ever had the patience to paint something this intricate...and now the hand/eye coordination would be a problem too. Love Nova Scotia and have been there 3 times! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

      I've never been to Nova Scotia, but am very interested in it. I don't have steady hands, even if I had a magnifying glass to enlarge it enough to work on details like that!

    I used to do Pysanki with my students. We'd have a craft table, and they would rotate through other centers when work was done!

      That's a great way to let children/adults? learn different crafts.
