Re: GESO: Pysanki

I know that Fabergé Eggs aren't real eggs, but I believe the peasant craft, decorating eggs, may have originally inspired the creation of the Fabergé Eggs ... "art imitating life" so to speak. On 4/5/2021 15:43:22, Daniel J. Matyola wrote: Fabergé Eggs are jewelry. They are more French than R

As I said, the fancy eggs were uncooked and not for eating, only for display. Dan Matyola *https://tinyurl.com/DJM-Pentax-Gallery * On Mon, Apr 5, 2021 at 3:44 PM Stanley Halpin wrote: > Very nice. > > I vaguely recall egg-coloring, but mine were more l

Re: GESO: Pysanki

Very nice. I vaguely recall egg-coloring, but mine were more likely to look like a pattern from a tie-died shirt, not nearly as elegant as these. I did always find it strange that parents would encourage this sort of art and yet they would say “don’t play with your food…” Stan > On Apr 4, 20

Re: GESO: Pysanki

Fabergé Eggs are jewelry. They are more French than Russian, just as the emperors for whom they were created were more German and English than Russian. These are real eggs, and the decorations are a peasant craft, something that would never be found in an aristocratic household. The eggs are raw

Re: GESO: Pysanki

my mother gave me and my friends an Easter party.. more than once.   We always decorated hard boiled eggs with vegetable coloring and an easter egg hunt around our small apartment was part of the party.  But she did more.  She made little favors at table of eggs sitting on "collars" with faces

There are many ways to celebrate the Easter season. In Eastern Europe (and among Amerians of Eastern European heritage), coloring Easter eggs in intricate patterns is a traditional family activity. Raw eggs are decorated using a wax-resist method employing special styluses and bright dyes, espec
