Pysanka Gallery

 

Pysanky from Shevchenko’s Homeland

The pysanky in the albums below are recreated from Mytsyk and Fysun’s “Pysanky of Cherkashchyna,” published in 1992.  The small book contained 24 color plates depicting 208 folk pysanky from 11 raions of right bank Cherkasy oblast. 

I have recreated all of these pysanky, with some errors in transcription (as noted).  I had difficulty reproducing some of the colors, as the illustrations in the book were watercolors and hard to match with modern western dyes(also noted) .
