This review is from: Ukrainian Easter Eggs and How We Make Them (Paperback)
If you want to make Ukrainian Easter eggs for all your life, you must have this book. Since 1984, it has been a companion. In a delightfull writing, the authors introduce the reader to the culture, the tradition and the craft of the Ukrainian Easter. The book is full of beautiful pictures which are a source of ideas. There are also many drawings of the symbols depicted in the eggs. From page 55 to 59, there are the essential instructions to begin with this art. There are no secret to be learned: just follow the directions. From that simple egg, you will progress every year. There other examples of eggs to be done. Enjoy this very spiritual and healing craft. Enjoy the opportunity to know this distant culture. (And forgive my "bad" English writing...)

Still the best!,
By pysanky artist! (Seacoast, NH) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ukrainian Easter Eggs and How We Make Them (Paperback)
This book has been around a long time (both hardcover and paperback), but is still the best overview of the craft of pysanky. It is balanced, comprehensive, and very well illustrated. And it is *extremely* practical. My only caution: the book is published by a supplier (Ukrainian Gift Shop), and the "dye tricks" in the book only work with *their* dyes! Still, the book is outstanding, and one of the best values for pysanky artists and fans!
