I would like to start this off by saying I had a traditional pysanka ready for that part of the reflection, but it broke. Right before I was going to melt the wax off. I had lots of the traditional art on that one egg, and I wanted it to be like... a good luck egg. I had pictures of deer (hunting), wheat (harvest), water (life), and a spiral for protection for the year. The protection didn't save my egg from it's demise though... :,)

The other eggs that I have done aren't traditional pysanky, but they still mean something to me.

The black egg with the flowers is meant to represent my great grandparents' china set that my mom inherited. We eat with it on holidays, and I was like "oh, hey Easter is a holiday and they kind go together" even though im pretty sure pysanky were a pagan tradition. anyways...

The rest of the eggs are just the interests I have had for the past few years. The yellow one is Invincible (Eggvincible) from... Invincible, I did him because he's my favourite superhero right now and in the series. #lol

The egg with the anchor and the roadmap is from my all-time favourite series, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. They represent the stands of two main characters of my 2nd favourite part, Josuke and Yasuho. (If you are truly reading all of this I'm sorry because that would not make sense...).

The final egg is my absolute g.o.at. hatsune miku (I named her Eggsune Miku). She is like an instrument people use. They like tune her voice to make her sing/speak. That wouldnt mak sense but that's as easy as I can explain. But people gave her a person and thats...basically what she looks like. Idk. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
