Beaded Easter Eggs, Beaded Pysanky (Писанки з бісером)

Beaded Easter eggs (Писанки з бісером).

Many year ago, the first jewelry was created with beads made from shells. People of all cultures worldwide have continued to adorn themselves with beads ever since. In parts of western Ukraine, Bukovyna (Буковина), and the Hutsul highlands, small glass beads have long been used to adorn pysanky and embroidery.

Although modern versions of the beaded pysanka can now be found throughout Ukraine, they are an indigenous folk art form only in Bukovyna, both northern (Ukrainian) and southern (Romanian). These beautiful eggs were once made only in convents by nuns, and are one of the Romanian influences on Bukovynian folk culture. In Bukovyna beads were also used in embroidery.

Beaded pysanky were created with a form or inlay or encrustation: an egg (real or wooden) was coated with beeswax, and then small glass beads were pressed into its surface to create patterns. The patterns were colorful and generally geometric.
