Pysanky Collectibles

Welcome to Pysanky Collectibles!

Pysanky Collectibles was established in 2002 by Antonina Badulak-McDaniel who decorates the Ukrainian folk art known as Pysanky. Pysanky stems from the Ukrainian verb "pysaty" which means "to write." She decorates the art form, along with her daughter Kristina Schaeffer, on emptied eggshells of all shapes and sizes. Originally only practiced at Easter, the art is one to create and cherish all year long.

Nina's and Krissy's work can be seen at the below listed events or by visiting Helen Badulak's Pysanky Museum.

For more information on their work or to schedule a beginner Pysanky lesson contact:
