Ask Us Anything About Pysanky – tradition

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 tradition.

Question – What is the colour on a traditional Ukrainian pysanka that symbolizes faith and patience?

Answer – Purple. To see the vibrant palette of 18 pysanky dyes from Baba’s Beeswax, open this Colour Chart on their website https://www.babasbeeswax.com/18%20Pysanky%20Dyes.htm.

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.
