Welcome to my Egg Art page This is where
my passion for
hand decorated egg art began - with the Ukrainian Easter Eggs, also known as
Pysanky. I enjoy the challenge of wrapping a two dimensional design over an oval surface
and having it appear symetrical.
For my Egg Art Collectors: I know - I know - I am prettymuch sold out of eggs! BUT I am busy 'laying' new egg art now, and will have them added to my website in a month or so. If you would like to be notified when they are ready, please sign up for my mailing list below. Thank ~ Nan.

been emptied, and the insides are sterilized.
The outside has been coated with a clear finish to strengthen the shell, add luster,
and enhance the colors.
Each egg is created individually, so there may be slight variations from the pictured egg.

A bit about the UKRAINIAN EASTER EGG:
The Ukrainian tradition of egg decorating dates back to pagan times, welcoming the advent of spring and celebrating birth and the cycle of life.
This art form eventually evolved into
the present Ukrainian Easter Egg around 988 AD when it was incorporated into Christian Easter and Lent ceremonies.
The present day Ukrainian Easter Egg, or pysanka, remains a beautiful tradition of folk art handed down from mother to daughter. Each year before Easter, Ukrainian women stay up long into the night to create these wonderful little handfulls of art. Using a method similar to batik, the intricate egg design is drawn on with a beeswax pen called a "kistka" and dipped in multiple dye baths using progressively darker dyes until the final result emerges from the wax and the egg is displayed or given as a gift. Folklore attributes curative powers to these eggs, and they have come to symbolize spiritual rebirth for Ukrainian Christians.
The more ancient form of Ukrainian Eggs are represented by the Trypillian designs.
These Trypillian eggs are a personal favorite with me. The dramatic browns and blacks combined with the flowing, meandering designs give it an earthy appeal.
