Pysanka

Many people are familiar with pysanka, the beautiful and colorful Ukrainian Easter eggs that are hand decorated using a wax-resist batik method. Here is an image of the same model pictured in the previous post, but in this example, she is "painted" with some traditional pysanka designs instead of the paisley fabric overlay used to create that human canvas. The geometric patterns are more clearly defined in this image and the colors are warmer and more subtle.
