Ukranian pysanky egg - Scales

Went to a workshop with my folks and came back with a couple of eggs. This one is in a scale pattern that apparently impressed the heck out of the instructor, since she had just taught us a simple way of dividing the egg into sections and I extrapolated a spiral out of that to make a spiralized grid for the scales.

First one of the Easter season this year.

Please reblog for a bigger sample size!

If you have any fun fact about Ukraine, please tell us and I'll reblog it!

Edit: Odesa* with only one S. And Chornobyl is spelled with an O. Can't edit the poll itself anymore.

The sun fell on my desk in a way that made me smile this morning, highlighting my great grandfather’s pysanky - Ukranian Easter eggs

He had hundreds left in his studio when he passed. Anything from quail to emu. Mostly duck. We all chose a few to keep in his memory. You can see how I gravitated toward a specific design lol

When he wanted more room, he gave his eggs away. He never sold them. It wasn’t unusual for someone to be given a tour of his studio and then prompted to choose an egg. By the end, all his closest friends and family already had pieces of him in their homes.

I keep his eggs nearby as a reminder to make art for me. He didn’t worry about “good enough” or if a design “made sense”. He just made. And made and made.

What I make and what he made are very, very different, haha. But I’m encouraged by his late desire to surround himself with his own creations, and further, to share them.

Thank you for reminding me, Sun 💛

This coming Monday, March 20th is Ostara.

Ostara marks the Spring Equinox, which happens between March 19 -23. Ostara is a pagan celebration of the German goddess Eostre and the origins of the Christian celebration of Easter. As the beginning of spring Ostara is a good time to literally and figuratively plant seeds for the future.

In modern day living Ostara is also good time to start taking action on the ideas and goals you started thinking about around Yule and Imbolc. What you plant during Ostara will be ready to be harvested during the coming summer months.

SYMBOLS OF OSTARA

Colors: Green, pink, blue

Foods: Eggs, honey, sprouted greens, baked goods, asparagus

Stones: Aquamarine, amethyst, rose quartz

Symbols: Rabbits, eggs, spring flowers , lambs, clover, baskets

Flowers & Plants: clover, daffodils, crocus, tulips

Things you can do to celebrate Ostara:

-Planting seeds for a vegetable garden or flower garden

-Spring clean your house

-Decorate an Ostara altar to honor your goddess of choice

Make egg based dishes and dessert (custard pie, frittatas, egg salad, etc…)

-Take a nature walk with loved ones and look for signs of spring

-Host a tea party with a springtime theme

-Ukranian egg folk art

-Take time to meditate/journal and think about your intentions for the next few weeks as it relates to the goals you want to achieve

Sober Sober

Sober

8.17 in the morning, Ukranian bar. Joe asks me about my future plans; please do not end up as a bartender, especially not in Celtica. I sip on my beer, looking over my shoulder to the group playing Darts. Only trying out sobriety to have a new experience; to have something new to write about.

Earlier in the night, a boy of 18 years came to tell me about the fear he feels when around an older man who was drinking a pint of Maes at the bar; the security did not take him seriously, not enough;

A bar like any other 8AM bar with casino games and darts; makes me think of you; we took lines in the dirty toilet and i spilled out the rape summer story to you; you left, no words spoken, but many hanging in the air -

Still, now. Still and steady. No race to be won; the ashtrays have been cleaned, my cigarette down the drain. There is love to be found, always; keep on seeing it in people's eyes; are you lonely? Cos so am I; the sky is gray today, it means - it's time for a spring apocalypse;

If only, if only; maybe if we had hold on tighter; tighter than that;

The old addict gets up from the chair, asks for a lighter, whistles, and continues the search for luck; coffee now cold; laughter from behind the doors; can you see me now? Can you see me then? Did you ever see me? Did i ever see you?

Predict the future; say what needs to be said;

Nima več smisla; žalovati za tabo, mislim. Odkar štejem dni treznosti, mislim manj nate. It happens in moments of lightning - you appear as a shadow and i want to run to make a line. You wake up the urge. But life keeps on going and people keep on passing by. In and out through the door. It was christmas and now it's easter and I won at easter egg hunt. You're lost in the streets; and I want to be found. The heart is only a muscle, at the end. It stretches and comes back to occupy the space before you entered inside. At least you served my poetry well, but I want to write about life now - not about you. Want to write about the stories I see and hear. Stories I imagine. Want to write about the blooming trees of early spring; of early April days. How the sun visits more often and everyone feels the warmth; about Olivia's pies and Amelie's pastries. Marie's excitement over food and Ahmed's bechamel sauce. How Vero and Sarah are bathing in Egyptian sun rays and building a love that will leave a mark.

Dim in rdeče stene. Bili so dnevi, ko se je tu vilo še kaj drugega kot le dim. Mize so skrivale nežne dotike kolen in dlani, noč pa je odpuščala vse, česar dan ni zmogel niti pogledati. Drsela sta si skozi prste, kot trepetajoča voda v morju; čakajoči prsti, polni upa, polni pričakovanj, ko bi se vsaj lahko zgodilo tisto, kar se ne sme. V umazanih jutrih se voda vedno znova odvije in ponovno postane zmeden dež; hkrati je prh snega, hkrati jutranja rosa, hkrati poletna nevihta. Ulice Bruslja drgetaje poskušajo ohraniti zadnje skupne trenutke, vedoč, da se bo zgodba kmalu končala. Ulice Bruslja; končno vredne zapisov in spomenikov.

Spomni se me, spomni se me, ko bo dan postal zlato rumen v poletnih večerih. Spomni se me, ko bom že dolgo mrtev in ti še vedno živa. Spomni se me in zažvižgaj skupaj z vetrom, ki te bo spomnil na najino zimo. Še vedno bom nekje tam, v ulicah Bruslja.

In tako jo šepet ustavi; skoraj se spotakne; skoraj pade nazaj v dni, katerih spanca nikoli ni dobila nazaj. Rdeče stene, rdeče nosnice - rdeči madeži poezije, ki se je vtisnila v kožo. Izgubljen dotik, izgubljeni dnevi. Rdeča luč, ki ju je zazibala v rahel spanec. Bilo je dovolj, da sta isti ritem nadaljevala še nekaj tednov. Dokler ni počilo. Vse do trenutka, ko so se stene zamajale in zidaki padli. Padec globok in obupen, ulice so zajavkale in se stresle; pustil si jo v globokem spancu, brez da bi odgrnil zavese.

"The last unicorn lived in a lilac wood, and it lived all alone. "

Vaguely Last Unicorn inspired pysanky. I may do another that is directly inspired, perhaps one with the Unicorn herself and the Red Bull. We'll see!
