Seeing such complicated, repetitious work, one assumes that decals or some such premade decorations were involved.
But staring at the most enlarged and clear parts of the photos, the designs seem to have raised edges, and choosing a single element, such as a leaf, and checking for an exact duplicate, I can’t find one.
It’s quite possible that the decal simply repeats a larger area, so I don’t see it.
But if this is actually hand painted, it’s outstanding!
Yes I recognize them as Ukrainian eggs… but it’s amazing if these particular ones are hand drawn.
For many years I’ve been going to a couple of annual events at a local Russian Orthodox Church.
I’ve made friends with some of the parishioners, and seen lots of Ukrainian eggs, at the Easter bazaar, and sometimes replicated in other materials for Christmas ornaments.
But I’ve never seen any as intricate as these!
….
One year I bought a set of the dyes, because there was supposed to be a class in creating the eggs… unfortunately it never happened.
They weren’t expensive anyway… Just several little paper packets of powder, which you were supposed to dissolve in much larger amounts of water than American egg dye, and boil the eggs in it.
They also had sets that included decals or transfer paper.
AFAIK , none included materials to make these raised borders or the shiny finish, though I’m sure they exist…. This is supremely advanced work!
The only way I can imagine doing something like this is if they are so skilled that they can repeat a pattern while talking to others and perhaps only glancing down to verify their work occasionally (like a quilting bee).
Quilting, crocheting and the like can be done without constant attention, if you’re practiced enough, because your fingers guide the stitches, and you can feel your way along….
(Though you do have to pay more attention to sharp quilting needles than large crochet hooks.)
But you can’t feel painting strokes, or use brushes without looking… I imagine this takes pretty close attention.
I imagine that hours of continuously doing this sort of painting your fingers would get the pattern of movements and automatically move the correct distance. It would require excellent muscle memory. I could never do this because I have next to zero muscle memory (I never trusted it).
They are made in the style of Ukrainian eggs but there’s no way those are hand made. The raised edges give it away.. those are decals or stickers.
I watched my mother and grandparents make traditional eggs many times and the tools used are quite crude and not capable of making such fine lines and details.
A small stick with a small tube inserted at 90° on the end is dipped in bee’s wax to draw with. Your first design will be white and once it’s dipped in a dye only the white will remain.You leave all the wax drawings on and dip it in a dye. After dying you draw your second design and it will stay the colour of the first dye. Then you continue dying and drawing with wax over the colour.
Once your design is finished the egg is put in hot water to remove all the wax.
My grandfather made the drawing tool out of a 1/4″sq piece of hardwood and used the old metal tubes from ball-point pens for a tube.
That’s probably more than you ever wanted to know 😉
She won’t make it to New York for the turnaround, being rammed in heavy fog by the Stockholm, while westbound from Italy, two days before this advertised sailing.
Most of the passengers and crew thankfully, were rescued, but not all.
…
On top of losing their prize luxury liner, and whatever they had to pay to settle with the passengers, the Italian Lines probably lost a lot of money refunding these tickets, as well.
No fault was ever legally determined for the collision of the two ships.
I seem to remember that the bow of the Stockholm was reinforced because it was originally built to run northern waters and was expected to encounter ice from time to time.
When I was a little boy, ~5, I was good friends with a pair of twins, Tim and Tom, who had been aboard the Andrea Doria as infants when she sank. Go ahead. Ask me if they were rescued or not.
As I scrolled down this picture, I first thought the black dog was wearing one of those fox stoles. The contrasting fur colors make both dogs looks even prettier than I imagine they would look apart.

Mary Puppies!!! Beloved by puppies all over the globe.
Mary Puppies is considered by many, and maybe even by Walt himself, to be, if not Dogsknees crowning achievement, at least his top live action production during his lifetime.
A happy romp with the preternaturally cheerful Droolie Androols, it charms the growliest Rottweiler, and sooths the most nervous Chihuahua.
Not even a basset hound can leave the theater with a sad expression!
…
Mary, played by Androols, by the end leaves the Barks family of bassets practically purring (in canine fashion, of course!)
She’s abetted in her task by her magical uncle, and even more by her multi-talented friend Birddog, played by the similarly multi-talented actor Tick Van Dykedog.
Memorable howling ensues…. Who can forget “A Handful of Milkbones,” or “Chim Chim Aroooo!”?
Or “Supercalifragilisticexpialidog-cious”!!
…
I did have two quibbles with the film.
One (I’m tempted to say “of course”) is Mr Van Dykedogs supercalifragilistexpial-Atrocious “Cockney” barking, which makes me cringe right down to my toes.
And the other is that I grew up reading the Mary Puppies books, in which Mary is no dispenser of pure sweetness and light, but rather prim and stern, though she manages to teach some of the same lessons… and also, in my memory, rather more magical.
One could say that the Dogsknees version of Mary is an improvement…. it’s probably my fault that I was nostalgic for my childhood memory.
I had thought that Dogsknees had TRIED to make Mary look prim and stern with the other charactors supplying the humor. Perhaps they went a little overboard letting the facade slip when out with Birddog. Or it might be that Droolie Androols just isn’t prim when she smiles.
I think they must have actually wanted a softer, kinder Mary, cos even the children’s ad was changed.
After all, in the 60s Disney was the land of the perpetually upbeat… Never mind a few terrifying scenes in Alice in Wonderland, and the killing of Bambi’s mother!!! (Sob….)
I wish I could have found the original canine version. I was very young when me mum & dad took me to see the human adaptation. To this day it’s a favorite of mine. At that age, I had no idea that the version I saw was purely a copy. I can’t say which is better, having not as yet seen Dogsknee’s version.

They are Ukrainian Easter eggs made by hand
They are works of art!

My Dad’s oldest sister had crocheted so many baby sets that she could still do it even when she couldn’t see very well any more.

A long sad tail of woe?
(Luckily, as are many such, it’s largely a dramatic doggie exaggeration.)
“Can’t a basset get a little lumbar support cushion around here?”
Don’t buy a ticket!

Yes, it was like the nautical version of a giant steel toed boot. Though its bow was crushed, it didn’t sink.
It was smaller than the Andrea Doria, and though greatly damaged, it went on, under escort, and managed to carry many of the rescued to safety.
When I was a little boy, ~5, I was good friends with a pair of twins, Tim and Tom, who had been aboard the Andrea Doria as infants when she sank. Go ahead. Ask me if they were rescued or not.
No instead of that silly question, I’ll ask the other one….
Were they older than you?
Yes, by a few months.

I always thought Janet Leigh was a bit more “Goody Two-Shoes” than this!
That smile is incredibly cute. 🙂
Never mind everything else. 😀

find an apple
I’ll do better in the morning.
Nope. I was wrong. I’m not doing better. 😀
I’m pretty sure I found the apple… As long as we buy the premise that you can grow one apple by itself in a flowerpot 😁
I was having a hard time with PostImage tonight… Hope my link works.
If it doesn’t I’ll come back and describe its location in words.
And that…
The thing is, stems attach fruit to trees, and carry nutrients from the tree roots
So if this apple is, itself, rooted in a pot … Is that really a stem?
Perhaps the apple just fell into the pot, and isn’t actually growing there?
Or maybe I should stop over thinking it😁
PPbbbththth to that!
No, I didn’t find it without Susan’s answer.
To which part?
The raspberry is for their “apple”
aka daleandkristen
Found it right away. Must be all the Weed Appreciation today.
I thought that was April 20th, at least in the US!
Any day is appropriate 😉

It’s amazing how many movies are clones of basset hound originals!
Like flags , and pinwheels… Or only food?
