Reviews

• Joan Brander’s new eBook is a delight to read. Everything you need to know about this art form is laid out in a logical, easy to understand style that can be used by novices and experts alike. Out of ten Pysanka Power Pamphlets, I’ll mention three that caught my eye and inspiration. Chapter 3 - “Christmas Ornaments” deals with Christmas motifs which are very timely. Chapter 9 - “More than 80 Pysanky Tips” shows how the author is able to unscramble difficult concepts. It reflects her passion for this art and her willingness to share her expertise with readers. Chapter 10 - “Trypillian Pysanky” is an unexpected treasure, especially the book cover picture of magnificent eggs. My only regret is that a pamphlet on symbols and their meanings was not produced, but then, who needs that when this “how to” collection inspires all kinds creativity. I would highly recommend buying this book. (Joyce E. Chyrski, Librarian Emeritus)
