Ukrainian Design Book

Ukrainian Design Book. This is the first book of a series of previously unpublished patterns for the reader to recreate and enjoy. By breaking down the design to its simplest form, you will discover that you can create very complicated and magnificent patterns.

As we describe each egg from beginning pencil lines to the final dye bath, the symbolism and color meanings will also be explained. If you are a beginner to the art of pysanky, as I am, this book will not be enough to get you started. It gives brief directions and gets straight to the patterns, which are after all the point of this book.

The cover has color photos of all the egg designs presented in the book, the inside cover has black-and-white pictures of the sides of the eggs; the pages of the book contain only black and white line drawings of the patterns.

Let's Celebrate Jesus on Easter

Let's Celebrate Jesus on Easter. Simple coloring pages and Bible verses make this coloring book perfect for your little ones hands and heart. Perfect for your growing child

I saw this book one year at Barnes and Noble and haven't seen it since. When my boys finally loved it to death I knew I needed a replacement, I bought 3 copies to also give to friends with young children.

The book shows the children engaging in traditional Easter activities such as dyeing and hunting for Easter eggs and receiving Easter baskets filled with goodies. But with each tradition it relates it back to Christ and the true meaning of Easter. For example, the page that discusses dyeing eggs says, "At Easter we decorate eggs with lots of bright colors. But Jesus is the one who colors my world every day." And there is scripture that accompanies and supports each comparison, "The heavens tell of the glory of God, Psalm 19:1".
