| Eggs Beautiful: How to Make Ukrainian Easter Eggs by Ukrainian Gift Shop Excellent introduction to traditional techniques |
| This concise book gives you very detailed, easy-to-follow directions for making traditional Ukranian Easter eggs. The directions are the most explicit and detailed of any book I've come across. Plus, there's plenty of info on traditional designs and their meanings. Not as many full color illustrations as some books...but a lot more detailed instructions and explanation of design components than most. |

| As an artist I found this book most helpful. Not only are several designs given with full, step by step instructions, several traditional symbols are shown helping the artist to create their own designs without abandoning the traditional feel. I did find the book a bit dated, several helpful tools are now available that are not discussed in the book. Also, I would have liked to see more "tricks and tips" - these are practically essential to someone just starting out. All in all, however, I enjoyed the book and use the designs often. |

| When I read Chicken Sunday by Patricia Polacco and saw the illustrations of eggs, supposedly dyed by the children in the book, I snorted and said, "No way. Those eggs have to be painted!" But then I found a pysanky kit in a catalog and tried it for myself. Eggs Beautiful was a tremendous help! The authors' step-by-step instructions make it easy to produce beautiful eggs on the first try. Their information on the history of pysanky and the meanings of the traditional designs and colors, made the eggs I've done over the past couple of years all the more meaningful. Anyone contemplating taking up pysanky as a hobby should definitely buy this book. It was one of the first I purchased when I started. A definite plus for any craft book collection! |
