Eggs

It's that time of the year again. Spring heralds the coming of Easter, and with Easter comes designing eggs. You may think that coloring eggs is for kids, but I beg to differ. I create Pysanky, Ukrainian Easter Eggs. I have an amazing sense of adventure and freedom when I create. I know that I can basically use the egg as my canvas, and I never really know what's going to be the final product. Yes, there's a basic plan, but sometimes the egg has something else in mind!

This year, I made only a handful of eggs.  Things were so busy around here that I didn't have too much time to fiddle around with my art.  I made 6 eggs and gave 5 away.  I have one more design laid out, but that egg has a new owner in my mind already.  It's funny... I generally think of a specific person when I begin to design an egg, and as I work on that egg, I think about that person a lot.  I get a lot of satisfaction out of designing and giving away my art.  I'm usually so excited to give my work away, that I forget to photograph it.

My eggs are actually living in some interesting places!  I've got one in South Africa, a few in Germany, one in Canada and many all around the US.  It gives me great pleasure to know that people enjoy my artwork.  That being said, I will continue to create and gift - enjoying giving a gift from my heart.

Happy Easter, Happy Spring!
