| Otherwise know as “Pysanky”, Ukrainian Eggs are an ancient art form still practiced today. These are done in the traditional way of using beeswax and dye in a wax resistant process on handblown eggs. The symbols decorating the eggs have special meanings, and can often mean many different things. The eggs on my website are all made by me, and are a mixture of traditional and contemporary, originals and reproductions from books listed on my booklist. If you have a question about a particular design, please email me. Please check out my Gallery for photos of eggs, and the For Sale link for eggs that I have listed for sale on other websites. I will be updating the signs and symbols pages, and adding more information about how to make Ukrainian eggs yourself, so please check back in! Thanks for stopping in! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Legend of the Pysanka Among Ukrainians there is a belief that the fate of the world depends upon pysanky. As long as egg decorating continues, the world will exist. Should the custom cease, evil in the guise of an ancient, vicious monster chained to a huge cliff, will encompass the world and destroy it. Each year the monster's servants encircle the globe, keeping a record of the number of pysanky made. Should there be too few, the monster's chains loosen, and evil flows through the world. If there are many, the monster's chains hold taut, allowing love to conquer evil.
