They are the most amazing things! The intricacies and the patterns and the colors ... I wish I had kept that stuff (or she did) and kept it up on my own. Thanks for the link because now I might pursue it again ... but I think my hands are not steady enough to pull it off. I have such good memories of watching her make those ... there was a really distinctive smell to it and the fire part and melting stuff was really fascinating! Thanks for a trip down memory lane!Jennershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044537551139633301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144530270551564552.post-13773560813294059672009-05-18T20:45:00.000-05:002009-05-18T20:45:00.000-05:00I have always loved pysanky, growing up on the pra...I have always loved pysanky, growing up on the prairies in Canada there's a huge Ukrainian population so it's very common to see them (all year round!). I'm now experimenting with some pysanky inspired designs for my pendants/beads but I think that's even trickier than the process for the eggs!<br />p.s. in case you don't see the response I left to your comment on my blog- they're on my website, not Etsy :)Mellisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14275653505481965896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144530270551564552.post-5632318017346346662009-05-14T19:51:00.000-05:002009-05-14T19:51:00.000-05:00Erin, this is a beautiful post and photos!

This year at our church, on Palm Sunday, ...Hi Erin,<br />This year at our church, on Palm Sunday, we had a group of people reenact the "stations of the cross". I had the role of playing Jesus carrying his own cross. I was alone in a room, and group leaders would bring groups of people through, and go thru a script of what was being depicted. This became a powerfully moving experience for me...standing there holding that cross on my shoulders. And, more than I've felt before, I felt this much deeper connection with Jesus, and with the sacrifices He made for me. <br /><br />Happy Easter to you Erin! This is, very much, a day to rejoice in!Lancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12347642337022150880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144530270551564552.post-27809934622709519002009-05-11T15:09:00.000-05:002009-05-11T15:09:00.000-05:00I love painted eggs.

I hope you had a more than lovely Sunday.<br /><br />I have a little story for you. My Mom told me about an egg heist happened during Easter. A little girl, took her Grandmother's old beautiful, exquisite Faberge egg to school for show and tell. She left it at school locked in the teacher's drawer for a couple of days. BUT, another student, took a fake egg, and tried to paint the same pattern that was on the Faberge egg, on this real egg.<br /><br />Needless to say, it did not look real at all. But then, the student who tried to copy the egg, broke into the techer's desk, and swapped the Faberge egg, for the false egg. Umm, helllo? WHo wasn't going to notice.. So now they are trying to figure out who it was... Can you imagine? <br /><br />So, there is a little egg tale for ya ;) xoxoa fanciful twisthttp://afancifultwist.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.com
