Many of my modern pysanky (Snowflakes and Brown Eggs excepted) have designs that have been copied from other sources, sometimes exactly, sometimes with  modifications.  When known, I will include the sources with the photos.

If I have used your design without attribution, you can notify me at the mail link below and I will rectify the situation.  Many designs were downloaded from the web, and the pages have since either disappeared or I’ve simply lost track of their origins.
