Ask Us Anything About Pysanky – tools

Tools, technique, tradition and more . . . . ask us anything about pysanky. To share our knowledge, our team of experts at www.babasbeeswax.com draws on not only our heritage, but also over 30 years teaching pysanky to all ages and levels of experience since 1991. Today's dialogue is on tools.

Question – What type of varnish should I use?

Answer – Varnish is harmful to your health and the environment. However, if you must, use a solvent-based product that is non-yellowing such as Liquitex Professional High Gloss Varnish. Others may yellow over time. Do not use a water-based product as that will wash away your dyes and ruin your pysanka. If you want to reduce your environmental footprint, use a light coating of vegetable oil instead. Watch “The Last Step – Varnish”” featured on our YouTube Channel (Baba’s Beeswax / iluvpysanky) | Pysanky How To’s and DIY. Here’s the YouTube link https://youtu.be/nRImcL2A3C8. It reviews all the suitable varnishes!

We believe that pysanky is fun and we embrace “Panya Pysanka”, our cool, hip, and whimsical mascot character. See her here in our “Ask Us Anything About Pysanky” post and elsewhere on social media to see how we promote pysanky.
