PYSANKY
Local artists have consigned pysanky (Ukrainian Easter eggs) which are created by using the wax-resist method. Each pysanky (singular) is rich in color and design. The symbols and colors on the pysanky have significant meanings. Prices range from $20 to $45 for chicken eggs. On ostrich egg pysanky price begins at $150.
The contents of the pysanky (eggs) are blown out. This makes shipping of the pysanky less hazardous. UCI has shipped pysanky throughout the continental United Sates.
