Come to find out, Jaxon is not a fan of accompanying Tess when she gets her hair and nails done. I said he could come here. He saw that I had been working on some pysanky and asked if he could try. You bet! I’ve tried to get my family to do this with me,…

Tis the Season for Pysanky
The huge blizzard they predicted? It hit south of us but as of this evening, hasn’t made its appearance here. We were due to get most of it tomorrow, so I’ll see what I wake up to! The wind did blow all day and it was cold, so I sat down and pulled out my…
Pysanky Class
I taught a pysanky class at the Ten Sleep Library last night, came home and went to bed… laid there and thought, “I didn’t blog!”. I was too tired, so here I am this morning. A live video can be found on the Ten Sleep Library Facebook page if you’re so inclined.
Fall Rolling In
RAIN… So far .88″ 48˚. Just rain, but they’re calling for snow down to 8000′ tonight and tomorrow. Looking up at the Big Horns this morning, I figured it was going to be a cool and dreary day. I was asked to teach a pysanky class this morning and tomorrow morning to various art teachers…
The Book of Kells Pysanky
Wishing you a very Happy Easter holiday! Thanks to K. for the inspiration for this design from The Book of Kells! **** Any questions for the Q&A? Post them here… unless you’re too busy at church, hunting Easter eggs, or eating with family!
The Ultimate Pysanky Post
I taught another evening of pysanky class… since most of the people were at my last class, I changed it up a bit, and decided to do a free hand vine design. Each successive layer was simply a darker shade of a color, created by leaving it in the dye for longer periods of time….
Eggcellent
I held a pysanky class tonight at Circle J Camp up in Ten Sleep Canyon. Four enthusiastic ladies managed to create these: Aren’t they great?? They had so much fun, they’re coming back to next week’s class and maybe bringing some friends! That will be eggcellent, because we MUST keep the evil monster at bay…
Pysanky Class II
Concentration. Creativity. More Creativity. And again… One more time… I just love SUCCESS!
The Easter Egg
It’s been a busy couple of days, with kids and grandkids all here… But they’ve all left now. Silence reigns and a neglected English Shepherd lays at my feet! Easter Sunday just might be a smidge quiet. While they were here, I did, with Victoria’s help, manage to make you a pysanky video for your…
Awesome, Girls
Wyoming felt the need to celebrate the spring equinox with a snowstorm, so once again, my world was white! How quickly we become used to 60 degree weather and the return to the 30’s is a painful one. It was a wet snow, and our mud that went to dust is now mud again… but…
Ukrainian Pysanky
I hope you got the memo. Pysanky Class tomorrow at the library! Yes, Easter will be here before you know it and you better start melting that beeswax! There’s nothing like the sweet smell of beeswax to get you in that Easter-ish mood! I had planned to film my vlog answers for you… but the…
Whew.
Ha! I did it. My first pysanky completion of the year. The white is done, I’ve just covered the brown with wax… All dyed. With the wax melted off… Other side… white is finished and I’ve just covered the brown… All dyed… (very bad photo too… but realized it too late!) Wax all gone! View…
