These designs have been in use in Eastern Europe for hundreds of years. They have roots in prehistoric pottery of the region, and the designs have found their way into all sorts of decorative applications—in textiles, murals, pottery and Easter Eggs! The Easter Eggs are called Pysanky, and hundreds of symbols are chosen from to give messages of hope, renewal, protection, and love on the individual eggs. This drawing contains the following: nets for protection, stags for strength and resiliency, plant life for renewal, triangles for the sacred feminine, and the sun for life force. This design was drawn with my former high school students when I was teaching them about Pysanky, and each student chose their own symbols and colors to create their own design.
