Summer and her brother Noah had entered some fantastic works
into our annual “Awaken Your Passion” Art Show. What a talented
family! Between the two, they had entered 6 items. Truly exquisite
was Summer’s Ukranian Egg.
Summer has been making Pysanky Eggs for the past 3 years.
A pysanka is a Ukrainian Easter egg, decorated with traditional Ukrainian
folk designs using a wax-resist (batik) method. The word pysanka comes from the
verb pysaty, "to write", as the designs are not painted on, but
written with beeswax. She discovered how to create these true works of art by
attending a demonstration at Campbell’s Pottery in Cambridge Springs, PA.
We and the community were impressed with the detail and patience that is put
into each one!
Along with her recently found talent in these creations, Summer
enjoys other forms of art and crafts including: watercolor, needle felting,
sewing, miniature work, along with many others. She also enjoys Tae Kwon
Do, professional clowning and babysitting. She gives credit to her
creativity because she has been homeschooled all of her life, and that allows
her to “go at her own pace.” She and her brother, Noah, enjoy a fun and
exciting schedule and they try many new adventures.
From Juniper Village at Meadville and Summer's family…HAPPY
EASTER!
