Ukrainian Eggs are an ancient art form still practiced today. They are also known as "pysanky" (plural) or "pysanka" (singular). This word comes from a Ukrainian word meaning "to write". The eggs in my shop are a mix of traditional and contemporary pysanky, and batik art eggs, which may or may not have some of the same elements used in pysanky. All of my eggs are made in the traditional way of using beeswax and dye in a wax-resistant process similar to batik and are all made using blown eggs, meaning that the insides of the egg have been removed. The whole process takes many hours to complete, the total time depending on the intricacy of the design and how many colors are used. The symbols and colors decorating the eggs can often have special meanings.

How I found pysanky

Shop members

  • Sarah Armstrong

    Owner, Maker

    I am a former biologist, and currently a stay at home mom to 2 teenagers and a bunch of pets. I have been making pysanky and batik eggs for a long time but in the last few years have enjoyed having a bit more time to dedicate to this artform.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Germany Packaging Act and how can we be be in compliance with it?

In 2019 Germany’s Packaging Act VerpackG came into effect, imposing requirements on online retailers selling to buyers in Germany. The Packaging Act promotes recycling and reuse of packaging materials (e.g. cardboard boxes, tape, and bubble wrap).

Dandylion Eggs is registered at the Packaging Register of the Stiftung Zentrale Stelle Verpackungsregister (Foundation Central Agency Packaging Register – ZSVR) with registration number DE5234287761942. My Dual System Licensing partner for the collection, sorting & recycling of the packaging is ACTIVATE by RECLAY.

As a consumer, please ensure that all received packaging is disposed of in the correct recycling containers.

Will I get the egg in the photos?

Yes, I take photos of each and every egg that I make, and the photos show the actual egg that you will be buying.

Gift wrapping and packaging

All of my eggs come in a gift box, that can also be used for storing your egg when it is not being displayed. If you order a pysanka that comes with an egg stand, the stand will also be gift wrapped.

Custom and personalized orders

If you would like a personalized egg, there are a few ways to do it. You can find one of my eggs that you like, and I can make you one with the same design, or I can modify it and personalize it to you with your ideas. Or we can start from scratch, with your ideas for theme and colors, size of egg, type of display, etc. It usually takes 1-2 weeks to finish a customized egg, depending on how quickly we can communicate back and forth.
