Tuesday Tips for pysanky — pencil guidelines for marking eggs

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 to keep your pencil sharpened to a fine point and use very little pressure. Do not pencil the entire design. Remember: you want guidelines only.

To learn more about pencil guidelines for pysanky, listen to Episode 5 of our Pysanka Power Podcast “The Technique of Using Pencil Guidelines for Pysanky” on your favourite app or here.

Our team has you covered. You can trust the experts at Baba’s Beeswax.com.

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!
