Learning pysanky is easy, fun and affordable. Continuing in our bi-weekly 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 . . . .
What’s your learning style? is it listening (we have a podcast
“Pysanka Power Podcast”), is it watching (we have a YouTube Channel “Baba’s
Beeswax” or “iluvpysanky” with multiple playlists), is it doing (we have a
tutorial “Teacher Guide”), is it online (we have digital resources including
“ZOOM” meetings), or is it reading (we have unique publications from Canada and
elsewhere). We’ve been doing all this and more since 1991 and just celebrated
our 30th anniversary!
Today’s tip is on choosing eggs and inspecting them for noticeable flaws. Do not use thin, bumpy or creased shells. Larger size eggs tend to have thinner shells. Hold eggs up to a light source to find hairline cracks and weak spots in the shell (this is called “candling”).
Our team has you covered. You can trust the experts at Baba’s Beeswax.com. 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!
