affordable. Continuing in this series we

guidelines, removing beeswax, emptying your eggs, varnishing your pysanky,

A light coating of vegetable oil on your finished pysanky will leave a subtle sheen without leaving a harmful environmental footprint that results from using a varnish.

Although the “candle method” of removing beeswax is popular, it can easily leave unsightly carbon on your pysanky. Instead, use the “oven method” with a drying board to remove beeswax.

A pysanka poem worth sharing. This one shared by my late mother, who was an avid follower of publications by Redeemer's Voice Press. I recall my mother’s bedside reading of anything published by Redeemer’s Voice Press, Yorkton, SK. She shared this poem by George Perejda, CSSR published in an Easter edition of a periodical. Note the double entendre of dyeing and dying. I’ve had to type very carefully and avoid spell-check for this one.
Ask us anything about pysanky—tools, technique, tradition
and more . . . . To share our knowledge, our team of experts 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 on technique.
Question —What happens if I touch the wick of the candle with my kistka?
Answer – The wick is where soot from the candle is deposited. Soot from the wick will get into the tip of your kistka and possibly clog it. The kistka may then need to be cleaned out. See more in this short video in the Pysanky How To's and DIY playlist on YouTube here https://youtu.be/uu31FTeDo9I
We believe that pysanky is a fun activity. We embrace “Panya Pysanka”, our cool, hip, and whimsical mascot character who follows us on social media to help promote pysanky.

Use a pencil with a very hard lead such as a #2 or #3 to
mark basic guidelines on your egg.

Today’s tip is on candles. We recommend using long-burning
candles—many types burn too quickly. Tea lights are not the best as they don’t
produce enough heat to melt the beeswax to a high enough temperature.
