This was so touching and beautifully written - your imagery is magnificent.

[whitesin]

^^ Thank you. I'm glad you like it!

;-; this story. I love it. And I agree about the imagery thing...

I-I make pysanky myself...so I understand most of the nuances in here [though some of these, my grandma says she didn't even know about!]...seriously, this is a beautiful story.

[PS: I have found another person who read Rechenka's Eggs~! Sweet~]

To be fair, I got the symbolism from Wikipedia... ^^;; Though I'm something of an armchair scholar of symbols (it's one of my many pet hobbies). I loved that book when I was a kid, because of the beautifully illustrated eggs (and I really, really wanted to try the cakes that Babushka made).

Thank you very much!

Pysanky are gorgeous. I've always wondered how to make them.

Such a lovely story. <3 I really like how you capture moments in time. :>

Belarus' name is Natalia.

[whitesin]

It's a batik style, which is basically painting the designs on the eggs with wax and dying them several times, though you can also scratch off the dye to create designs as well.

I was rather trying to get a happy, slightly story-tale esque effect too, like photographs or paintings.

Ah! Thank you! -will be switching the names-

[konishii]

Yeah, I definitely got the storybook feel. It makes me kinda sad how Russia is now...

Ukraine seems to only have a nickname so far. (I just found this xD; )

I'm glad you liked it. ^_^ This was a pretty piece to write (because I rather like pyansky myself and the traditions behind them).

And I shall make the appropriate corrections! Thanks for the comment.
