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.
...Happy Easter, thanks for sharing such beauty!
ReplyDeleteI painted many an egg, usually little faces and made paper hats to go with...but never a pysansky! I've always loved their beauty!
DeleteHappy Easter. Beautiful Pysansky eggs.
ReplyDeleteThanks...so glad to share them.
DeleteHappy Easter, Barbara.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jenny. Have a happy Easter too.
DeleteHappy Easter! The Pysansky eggs are absolutely beautiful, thank you for showing them.
ReplyDeleteAren't they? So glad someone shared them on FB.
DeleteThose eggs are beyond anything I could ever do. Happy Easter to you!
ReplyDeleteAs 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!
DeleteHappy Easter!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a happy Easter as well!
DeleteHappy Easter, Barb! The precision and detail on those eggs is amazing.
ReplyDeleteIsn't s/he a really wonderful artist?
DeleteThey are incredibly intricate.
ReplyDeleteI love that the person who posted these eggs on FB gave us nice big photos, so I could share them here!
DeleteBarbara, 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
ReplyDeleteI'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!
DeleteI used to do Pysanki with my students. We'd have a craft table, and they would rotate through other centers when work was done!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great way to let children/adults? learn different crafts.
DeleteFancy!
