Thank you to Susan Jones of Canton, CT for sending in these beautiful Pysanky to the project. I am currently updating the gallery with all of the new eggs that have come in this past week - so please be sure to visit our site to see all the new submissions. I will also be posting here as well! Though Easter is over - this project continues to work to raise funds for Ukraine, share Ukrainian culture and traditions and working for opportunities to highlight the work of Ukrainian folk artists. Stay tuned for more submissions and thank you to all of those who have contributed to this project thus far!

Susan’s note to Ukraine : Wishing you strength - know we are standing with you!

Beyond grateful that the Pysanky For Peace Project

Beyond grateful that the Pysanky For Peace Project has been featured in Smithsonian Magazine - currently the article is on the site's homepage .... the link is included in the comments.

Truly thankful for this, as I am hoping that as this project continues to evolve, it helps to provide more opportunities to artists who are keeping these cultural traditions alive, sharing this knowledge and bringing to light the deep and rich traditions and skills sets that are required for mastering this art form. From my perspective - folk are is fine art - and that is a message I will continue to share throughout the evolution of this project.

Congratulations to the pysanky artists as well who have submitted pysanky to the collection and have their eggs featured in the photo for the article! Pysanky in the images are by : Nolie Wilson, Jamie Powell, Krissy Shaeffer, Janet Furbeck, Stephanie Troy, Nancy Katsaba Kelly, Helen Badulak, Emily Blakely - you can also view them in the gallery on the Pysanky For Peace website. .

Thank you to everyone who has helped the project s

Thank you to everyone who has helped the project soar! We have helped raise over $10,000 through the project initiatives - and we are just getting started! I can’t properly express what this has all meant to me personally - and this part of the project is setting the foundation for bigger things to come to help continue to foster cultural knowledge sharing, community art and connection and continuing to help support Ukraine and the artists who keep these traditions alive. Just because Easter is passing, does not mean this work will end - we encourage artists to continue to submit their pysanky to the collection and those who can donate and share your messages with Ukraine to keep the momentum going. Your support means the world - thank you and Slava Ukraini!

Oh my! Look at this amazing collection of pysanky

Oh my! Look at this amazing collection of pysanky that has been gifted to the Pysanky For Peace Project’s ever growing collection from pysanky artist Deann Scearce from Iowa. Deann wrote to us letting us know she was looking for a way to help Ukraine and heard about the project through her local radio station - and felt that sending in pysanky that she has made over the years to the collection would be a way she could help. I can’t thank Deann enough for sending in such lovely pysanky and for such a generous submission. I will be photographing and archiving her work over the next few days - be sure to keep an eye on the Pysanky gallery on the website for more detailed photos of her submission - and if you can, please support the project by Sponsoring a pysanka as we work to secure further exhibition opportunities for our contributing pysanka artists to help raise funds for Ukraine and share the cultural history of this beautiful art form. Slava Ukraini!
