Adding a Signature to Your Egg

9/11/2013

Recently on a social media site for eggs a posting was made to "show me close ups of your signatures on your eggs".

Valerie Integrated Her Signature Into the Pattern.

I never sign my pysanky, because I always forget!
About a month ago, I stopped at a local yard sale and was thrilled to find two pysanky eggs each in a case for $5.00. Of course I rescued them! I am posting a picture here of the one, which I discovered had a wonderful integrated signature into the design. I also did some research on the signature and discovered the Ukrainian artist, Valerie Martz. I am fairly certain this is her pysanky because of the proximity to where I live and where she comes from. I am also posting an article I found on Valeria, from 2000; so, click on her name above and it will take you to the web page.
