It's not perfect but it's all freehand with no measuring or pre-sketching. Plus I'm having migraine auras so considering the considerables, for a doodle I'm happy with it.

1 oz. Pure Silver Coloured Coin – Pysanka
For the past seven years, the Mint has issued pysanka-themed collector coins, a spring tradition that pays tribute to Ukrainian culture and artistry in Canada. As we prepare to launch this year's collection, and in light of the invasion of Ukraine, the Mint has decided to donate all net proceeds from the sale of our 2022 gold and silver pysanka coins to the Canadian Red Cross Ukraine Humanitarian Crisis Appeal.
Funds raised through this appeal will help the Red Cross respond to humanitarian needs emerging from the current conflict faced by Ukraine. We hope that our donation helps put words into action.
Your coloured pysanka coin for 2022! Strong, lasting and precious, familial bonds are the means by which traditions are passed down. This fine silver coin continues the tradition of celebrating life and the season of renewal through a gorgeous Ukrainian Easter egg—a pysanka that conveys a blessing. On the coin's reverse, the colour motifs come together to form an unforgettable celebration of family, enduring love, and the endless possibilities that each new generation brings.

I finally finished my Fenris pysanky and this time I thought I would share a little bit of the process for those who are interested. Below the cut, you can find a summary of all the steps this egg took over a 10-ish hour period! Not crazy happy with how the star motif turned out (and the linework is shaky in parts) but I'm really happy with the ribbon and lyrium tattoos!
These doesn't include the steps of emptying and cleaning the egg as I do that in batches. (It's pretty gross and not very interesting.)
Step one: I measured and applied grid lines to sketch the lyrium tattoos using a reference I kept up on my computer screen to zoom in where needed.
Tumblr media
Step two: Covered everything I wanted white in wax. In this case, the lyrium. Traditionally, white is the main color for linework but I wanted mine to be black for most elements so only the lyrium was covered. The star and ribbon weren't even drawn on at this stage because it would have disappeared beneath the black dye anyway. Before dying it, I dipped it in a diluted vinegar solution to make sure any oils from my fingers, eraser residue, or other debris were removed as they would prevent an uneven coloring.
Tumblr media
Step three: I dyed the egg in "orca" black. I'm also including a picture of what the wax looked like after it was dyed. (That's still the black wax from above!)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Step four: I sketched out the other two elements with blue pencil and then I waxed everything I wanted to stay black using white wax so that I could see what I was doing.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Step five: I "washed back" the egg to white so that I could do the blue and red dyes. I didn't wait to do the lyrium at this stage because you run the risk of not getting a true white without doing a light acid wash, which you can see. This is just to give the next colors a base.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Step six thru whatever: Dyed the egg "jay feather blue", waxed, dyed it "Niagra blue", waxed, dyed it "Huron blue", waxed and then dyed it "glowing hearts" red. I was pretty absorbed in the work and forgot to take pictures of those steps but here's the red! (it looked like the below...only blue)
Tumblr media
Step seven-ish: Waxed AGAIN to cover everything I wanted to stay true red and then gave it a good soak in "kalyna red" which was the final color. After that, it was finally time to remove the wax! Here are some before and during pictures. The after pictures are the ones at the beginning of the post! Removing the wax is definitely the most satisfying part of the process. Until then, you can't truly tell what the final product will look like behind all the wax! The wax removal also gives the entire egg a really nice shine.

If you have any questions, lemme know. I'm happy to talk about pysanky and while I'm not the best at it, it's an important part of my heritage that I'm extremely proud of!

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.

Pysanka frame on the back of a card I'm sending to a friend because idk what to write so I doodle instead.
The question is: should I put anything in it or leave it blank? Decisions decisions.
