erin_o, those are gorgeous! My grandmother made some that got handed down in the family, unfortunately, none to me.
Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

Erin, do you do any on wooden eggs?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Oof. Wish I had realized when packing that this dress really requires a camisole. Thank goodness the shirt I wore on the plane matches it, but I'd rather not be wearing a long sleeve shirt under a dress in 80 degree weather.

Those are beautiful Erin.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
erin, those are gorgeous! We've given away the ones H made through the years as gifts for housewarmings, weddings, or other occasions. His mom has several of his, along with some she has from when they lived in the Ukrainian community in Philadelphia. The ones I managed to hang onto are guarded, carefully. I wish the photos were better, I probably need to work on that. They're here, here, and here.

Bev- those are gorgeous, and i love how they are displayed. I've been giving them away as gifts for about 20 years now, my mom must have at least 3 dozen! She bought a special glass-topped display coffee table just for all the pysanky :)
Sox, that's good to know. I was worried that my super exciting first sale was just some kind of scam and that made me sad.

And no wooden eggs, the dye that makes them so pretty doesn't work on wood. Or really anything except egg shells. I tried painting for a bit but it's extremely difficult to get that level of precision with bristle brushes
