Wow! Are those done with masking and dyes, or brushes and paints? I do some miniature painting so I can imagine doing small details like that, but I'm used to doing detail work based on reliefs, a smooth surface like that I'd imagine would be rather difficult.
Those are lovely, the polish version is pretty much the exact same thing. We would throw some of those into the basket to take to church on Easter Morning along with a little of each food represented on the table to be blessed.
Once when Paweł the Polish priest came over for Easter dinner my father enjoyed taking the blessed sausages out of the basket and giving them to the neighbors dog to make the priest uncomfortable. hahaha, he loves making priests uncomfortable.
I made the trip with my buddy Bruce down to Modesto to visit their main church. Rev. Helmsley had already passed away but his wife gave us a great tour, they were all just so nice.
I need to go back and get a new card, the new ones are really fancy, mine looks like a ratty piece of paper, the new ones are hard plastic!
I loved how you used color in this video. How long have you been making pysanky? I haven't made any in years but I never got passed the basic designs. My mother on the other hand created some amazingly difficult ones. PS The first egg I ever made was the same design that you and your sister made. I wonder if it is the universal beginners design.
When I was in grade school, there was a Ukrainian woman who worked there as sort of a general teacher's aide. She offered an after-school class in making pyansky, and I made a few back then.
Then a couple years ago, I noticed the Ukrainian gift shop not too far from my house, so I went there, and the woman running the place was very helpful. I got wax, dyes, a few different kistkas, and an instructional book by the shop woman and her sisters. So that's where I got all the designs.
I just spoke with my mother and she reminded me that she took a class to learn how to make them and afterward she taught my siblings and me. And she started with the same design so I think you are correct.

You draw on the egg with beeswax, then dye it. I'm going to do a video about it .

All will soon be revealed. It's not too hard. it's mostly drawing, and I suck at drawing.

Careful now, I'm a priest. In nomine patris et filii et spiritus sancti amen.
Well, I'm ordained by the Universal Life Church anyway.

That star design is the first one in the book, so maybe it is the universal one!

Those are cool. I especially like the "band of stuff" on the egg with the sort of cross-like picture.

Yeah, the first thing that drew me to that design was that interesting Eastern Orthodox type cross, but the stuff-band on it is nice too.
