A short tutorial demonstrating how to make a Pysanka (Ukrainian Easter Egg). Materials needed to make Pysanky may be purchased at Ukrainian gift stores or online: search for "pysanky supplies".
Un verdadero arte ! Y me gusta mucho que haya contado la historia que va detrás , el significado de cada dibujo...Me he quedado impresionada y maravillada....es algo único 🤗
My first pysanka also broke. I put it back together then preserved it in resin I purchased at a local craft shop. I used a dremel tool to shave the extra resin away so that it is egg shape again. Thank you for your video!
the kistka has a metal funnel. Heat the funnel in a flame, then gently scrape the top opening of the funnel against the beeswax until the funnel is filled. If the process is not easy, then heat the funnel more.
1. By Ukrainian custom, pysanky are "written." 2. No pysanky predating the 15-16 centuries have been discovered. Cultic ceramic eggs, rattles, have been dug up in neolithic Trypillian sites, not pysanky.
As a child we made them using a popsicle stick, thin copper sheet metal and copper wire. I formed a flattened cone and secured it to the end of the popsicle stick. I also experimented making the common design by burning a hole two a 3/8" or so dowel using a wood burning tool. The cone was made from thin copper sheet metal. They worked, but off course it's easier to buy them. I found this for you: www.instructables.com/id/Make-a-Kistka-to-Use-for-Wax-Resist-Egg-Dyeing/
