Give different pysanky designs “written” on chicken eggs. Trypillian design as well as a stylized bear paw, and also star designs.
On a roll this year with pysanky! I have not yet taken off the wax, but have a nice bunch so far. 🎨 #ukrainianeggs #pysanky #waxresist
Pysanky is a Ukrainian folk tradition in which a #WaxResist process is used to dye #eggs, mostly using motifs from #nature. A #pysanka is traditionally created with a particular person in mind, and the colors and patterns are chosen based on their symbolism to create a blessing for someone.
I'm in the process of glazing the 18 bowls I'll be donating to the local Empty Bowls event. These pots were dipped in a base glaze yesterday. Today I brush applied some wax resist. Tomorrow I will apply a second, complimentary liner glaze. #thistleglenpottery #emptybowls #waxresist #mtlebanonpa
A monochrome drawing of five abstracted leaves or wilted flowers in a pot, rendered in white chalk or pastel against a black background. The lines are bold and expressive, with a textured, hand-drawn quality. The pot is wide and squat, placed on a horizontal surface with rough horizontal stripes, possibly suggesting a wooden table. The overall style is minimal and graphic, evoking a sense of simplicity and introspection through limited color and detail.
This #contemporaryart of mine was recently sold. It was in the stone carving museum shop where it is being shown, and is now living in Beijing at the home of a singer. #ContemporaryTuesday

#Pysanky 2025 is in the books! We learned the tradition of #WaxResist to create beautifully colored and designed #Ukrainian eggs. And we had a great time!
Just finished the glazing of the ^6 pots. Applied some wax resist brushwork between base & accent coats. Looking for 2-3 days of no rain as I move & fire my kiln outdoors with no overhead cover. #thistleglenpottery #pottersofbluesky #cone6glazing #mtlebanonpa #waxresist #bowls #plates

Piece of artwork done many years ago using sea snail shells as inspiration. Created using collage, wax resist (drawn using just-extinguished candles) and watercolour paint. Riot of colours from browns, corals and greys, to bright yellow and sky blues.
Artwork from 28 years ago based on sea snail shells.

I met Kena of #KenaQuiltStudio yesterday and could not #resist getting some #waxprint #fabric. I haven’t seen fabric like this at home, it’s so rich and beautiful! #batik #WaxResist
Winter and human upheaval. Winter is a time of rest for trees and plants, meshing with the cycle of insect life and the great migrations of birds. The real world.
Autumnal, batik

And abstract silhouette how a dark masculine figure with neon colors in the background. Wax resist leave texture in the paint.
Thought I'd share this one for you. Inspired by the song, 'Bathysphere' sung by Cat Power - 2024 sure was trying, enough to want to dive down deep and escape. Welcome 2025!
