Tuesday Tips for Pysanky — dyes

What’s your learning style? is it listening (we have a podcast), is it watching (we have a YouTube channel), is it doing (we have a tutorial), is it online (we have digital resources), or is it reading (we have unique publications). We’ve been doing all this and more since 1991 and this year we’re celebrating our 30th anniversary! Learning pysanky is easy, fun and affordable. Continuing in our FB series we have Tips and Troubleshooting for eggs, beeswax, kistka, dyes, candles, pencil guidelines, removing beeswax, emptying your eggs, varnishing your pysanky, using a drying board, displaying your pysanky and more . . . .

Today’s Tip is what to do if dyes turn cloudy (i.e. showing evidence of bacteria growth). Simply strain them through cheesecloth, bring to a boil, and add 1 tablespoon of vinegar (keeping in mind that some dyes don’t require vinegar—read your dye directions carefully). Listen to Episode 3 of our Pysanka Power Podcast “All About Pysanky Dyes” on your favourite app or here https://www.babasbeeswax.com/X-Pysanka%20Power%20Podcast/All%20About%20Pysanky%20Dyes.mp3

Our team has you covered. You can trust the experts at Baba’s Beeswax. Our Mission is to provide you with everything you need to make beautiful pysanky the traditional way from pysanky supplies and kits to workshops and books. Our Vision is to inspire and encourage beginners, experts, and anyone interested in Ukrainian egg decorating to discover the magic of one of the great traditions of all time—PYSANKY!
