Pysanky = decorated easter eggs. Some artists make wonderful pysanky by painting with wax paint, layer upon layer, slowly but surely completly covering empty egg shells with beautiful traditional motifs. Me, I knit Olgas lovely knitted pysanky, then do wooly embroidery on the knitted surface, then add beads and pearls and silk ribbons. It is a good way to let the period of Lent be a time for reflection and rest from the everyday stress of modern life. It is a tradition Olga started in her web forum many years ago now, with pysanky KAL during Lent, letting us try out a new pattern book with many new pysanky patterns every year. This pattern book has 5 pysanky motifs. The motif I chose for this pysanky is this first, Pawa.
