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”), 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!
The essentials of pysanky and the important component
that inspired our name! Today’s tip is to use only pure beeswax with no
additives. Also consider the converse: i.e. do not use paraffin wax as it
doesn’t adhere to your egg the same as pure beeswax does. Paraffin will allow
dye to seep through. Beeswax creates a solid barrier.
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!
