Learn How to Dye & Color Easter Eggs - Decorate Ukrainian Ukraine Pysanky Pysanka Beginner Egg 

You can always tell the signs of a dedicated and amazingly gifted artist by how much paint, dyes, burns, cuts, and scrapes she has on her nails and hands.

I really like the pace of this video. You spend just the right amount of time explaining each step, while you demonstrate the technique. Thank you!

I haven't done these in over 30 years. Learned from my mother using a straight pin stuck on the end of a pencil eraser, then graduated to the electric kistka. Back then I produced hundreds of eggs, but unfortunately never emptied them first. Still about 70% survived, but I live in fear that one will crack and stink up the house. This was a great complete tutorial and has inspired me to give it a try again. Thank you for the tutorial. I hope it keeps this obscure art form alive.

I just finished a six week pysanky class. Your tutorial videos are an added wealth of information for beginners like me. Each person has their personal tips and tricks. I love how you include different ways to do each step. Thank you!

Watching this, I miss my grandmothers. Thank you for bringing me closer to them, even if only in my memory.

You are a natural born teacher and I bet you're a great gramma too. "smile"

Every year I check out the videos to keep our family tradition alive, and your video is the best every year, year after year. Thank you for such an in depth process.

Great narrator, clear, direct, sincere, comprehensive, methodical, encouraging, slow and steady showing beautiful results. Thanks!

In probably third grade, we read a book on how pysankys are made, and it peaked my interest, so I figured I'd check out how to make them. Loved the video, it helped me understand how to make the psankys, so thanks. :)

So neat to learn different culture crafts. Very beautiful and very nice teaching. I could listen to you talk all day :)

Thank you for showing all the different techniques for each step! I'm glad i watched this video first, that way i won't need to see a dozen more on the various ways on how to make these!

What beautiful craftsmanship! Actually made me cry thinking how much work goes in to these eggs and how special they are. Much love.

I have only done a couple of these and I must say you have such steady hands and such a calming voice. Beautiful artwork!

This has got to be one of the most beautiful and coolest things I have ever watched!!

Omgosh... This is the prettiest decorated egg ever. I am wow'd. I am Norwegian & Native American and we have cultural crafts as well that I remember growing up. What a beautiful Ukrainian craft. Just beautiful! A Reminder of how important and special it is to continue to teach and learn these things.

I'm going to make this for my father in law. He will be so happy! It'll remind him of home

This has to be the best tutorial ever. Your wisdom is beyond words and I want to thank you so much for sharing. I could only hope to be a tenth as good as you some day. You are awesome and what a beautiful gorgeous egg.

Thank You so much for this video. I appreciated all the extra information on different products that one can use. So often artist only show the way/things that they use and if youre not a very "crafty" person, you never learn about alternative things to use. Your voice was very kind also. You make it very easy to learn from you. This is something Im definitely going to try...I think I can do it.:) Thanks again!!

Thank you so much for taking the time to show us how to make the Pysanky egg. Your attention to detail was very much appreciated for this beginner. The eggs are beautiful and I'm inspired enough to try it for myself. I purchased my supplies online and have blown out my eggs and they are now drying and awaiting the next step. Can't wait to get started!

Yesterday I watched your wonderful video and was so impressed. My Grandmother was from Belarus and when we went to Rova Farm in New Jersey we would always color natural dyed eggs. Last night I had a dream about our times together and it was the first time I actually felt it was all night long. Thank you for the memories that you brought back. Janie

This is the most comprehensive video on pysanky art. You did a wonderful job! Beautiful egg!

Absolutely gorgeous thank you for taking the time to make this video and share your craft with us!

I took a 2-hr class yesterday. Not nearly enough time but it piqued my interest. I wished I had watched your video prior to the class. You provide excellent and detailed instruction. I also learned why some of the things I did didn't work. I am looking forward to trying your techniques. Thank you for this very informative video.

This eggs are so beautiful. Really lovely.

Glad to hear that, decorating eggs is a nice way to create beautiful keepsakes, and gifts.

Amazing art, and patience. Thank you for posting this very detailed tutorial.

This was a delight to watch! I’ve been on the struggle bus with my kistka - now I want an electric one. Beautiful work!

Wow! This the best info I have found for Pysanky eggs! You are really an expert and I appreciated that many of your tools were things found around the house. Thanks for all he time you took to make such a comprehensive video for beginners like myself.

Thank you Lorrie, for pointing me in the right directions.

Beautiful design! What a difference it makes to put the little circles on either side of the lines! 'Love it!

What a transformation! So beautiful! Thank You for sharing. I would love to try this art.

Thank you so much, this was VERY detailed. I can't come up with one single question to ask, as you have provided everything!

Thorough, concise and so interesting! I love that you give options as to what artists do followed by the techniques you use. Thank you for a very informative tutorial.

LOVE THIS! Thank you for posting this video Lorrie.

I have always wanted to try this and now I can. Thank you for such excellent instructions. You egg was beautiful!

I collect pysanky eggs and often wondered how it was done. This is an excellent learning experience. Thank you for explaining so thoroughly this beautiful art form.

My best friend Lesya is Ukrainian and makes beautiful eggs! She made me one Ill cherish forever its on my dresser in my bedroom! Your eggs are beautiful too you explain the process with such calmness and ease! Thank you!

Wow. Your art work is so beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

You did such a great job of instructing folks esp. beginners. I am posting this for my family. Keep it up.

Hi Lorrie! Thank you for making this wonderful video! You're so generous in sharing your knowledge

What a lovely video. Very enjoyable to watch and it reminds me of when I decorated eggs with my Baba. Thank you

I'm proud of you first for watching the video, and then for getting involved and making your own pysanky.

Lorrie..........Thank you so much for all the helpful hints. I have been figuring all this out on my own the last couple of years. Many of these tips are things that never occurred to me.

What a lovely way to spend part of Easter Sunday, watching your informative and inspiring video on painting eggs. I will definitely be trying this. Bravo!!!!

This is a beautiful form of art, bravo!!!

Thank you, this is one of the fun eggs we do. It's an easy design, and it always comes out pretty.

Lorrie, I must say, this is just a superb video. Your detailed explanations are easy to follow, and the options you provide are so helpful. Thank you.

Hello Lorrie, I am married to a Ukrainian lady and her family made and gave many gifts of these eggs over the years. We treat each as a treasure. I wish I was Ukrainian as I have come to love her family and the gifts of the Ukrainian people. Thank you for doing this video. I am going to try to make one for my wife.

Absolutely unbelievable! What a fantastic art! You are amazing and thank you for the video. I have loved Pysanky eggs for years but have never tried making one. I think I will leave it to the true artists! Just gorgeous; thanks again. Many blessings.

This was so beautifully relaxing and lovely to watch. Thank you.

Thank you for the wonderful detailed instructions. I had fun and really like your style of teaching.

Such a helpful video, Lorrie. Your work is beautiful.

I love how you have such a smooth voice I can listen to it all day very relaxing I love this design it looks very interesting I should try thank you for creating this video!

Loved these ideas for making eggs

It's nice to hear that you are enjoying the videos, thank you.

Thank you for asking. In time I will have some for sale. And, thank you for your kind words.

Beautiful art work and such a joy to see.

Thank you. Very Kind of you to share with us!

just incredible artistry. gosh an age old art that was a pleasure to watch. definitely something I'm not sure I have talent for. thank you for a super video.

Your eggs are beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing your talent.

Thank you! This was the best tutorial for beginners!

This is a nice simple easy design. Thank you.

Thank you for the video! I grew up doing this with my neighbor when I was little. Now I can re-learn the process :)

Thank you for stopping by, and for the nice complement.

This is so wonderful! Thanks for the video!❤️

Cool!! The eggs look awesome!!!!!

Thank you for your kind words. I am very Blessed with patience, all the rest I have to work on. Again, thank you.

Now I understand! This finally makes sense to me. I did not know that you wash off the dye before going on to the next color. It never made sense that you put one dye on top of the other. I could not process this mentally. I may have to get out my pysanky supplies and give this a try, since I finally understand the process. Thank you very much for setting me strait. Great tutorial!!

Thank you Lorrie! Your information made it look SO easy! I believe I am not ready to start.

This is a terrific video Lorrie!

I appreciate all of your kind words. Thank you. When I'm able to get an inventory of eggs I do sell them from time to time. Thank you for asking.

Really cool. Thank you for showing us!

Absolutely stunning work! Your artwork is fabulous. You have a very calming, pleasant voice, that makes it a pleasure to listen to, as well. I finally know how these gorgeous eggs are created. Thank you for sharing your talents with us. Happy Easter.

Such beautiful work, and absolutely mesmerizing, thank you for sharing your art and the artistic process with us.

Such beautiful work you do! I would love to give this a try! Thank you for sharing. :)

My daughter Mia loves this video. She is only 6 y/old and is very artistic. Thank you for this video.

I see you made this video in 2013....I am stuck in the house during this pandemic and I am looking for a new art! THIS is perfect! Thank you so much for taking the time to show us how to do this.

Youre such a good artist and that egg was sooo awsome

Thank you so much, and Happy Easter.

Amazing eggs. Also, great video!

I appreciate you and Mia, thank you for stopping by.

Lovely, Thank you so much. Your artistic craft needs to be preserved for our wonder diverse USA cultural mix.

That was really amazing! I didn't even know that this type of egg coloring existed,but now I know!:D

Thank you charsbabushka. You can, and many do put one dye on top of the other. This is one of those techniques each artist needs to decide for themselves. Washing back is usually done when you are changing from a dark color to a lighter color. Or from one color family to another....yellow, orange, red, wash back to white before putting the egg into greens and blues. Again, thank you.

I've been binge watching your videos! You are so talented and a wonderful intructor! I will definitely be trying this soon! Thank you!

I did this once, when I was young, and it has always been a bit of a mystery to me. years later, I thought it would be fun to do this with a 10 year old I'm a big brother to. A co-worker is intrigued, and we're going to attempt these this English Easter. (not religious, but old habit) We've been combing the net to understand this whole thing, and I finally made it to RU-vid. I gotta say, I enjoyed this video. It was so very informative with all the different options on each task. Making Pysanka is something that I kinda understood the theory , but I never really grasped it. This video turned something that seemed intimidating into something I could actually do well. Oh, and seeing your egg come alive at the end. Wow!! Pretty cool!! :) I was going to do some further investigating at a small Ukrainian Store in the region, but thought I could ask you too... To drain, or not to drain; to go fake? The clean is a lot of work for sure. There is a solid chance of Connor wanting to show off his (Dr. Who inspired I'm sure) Pysanky at school, so yolk or no yolk it could break. My friend wants to go to a hobby store and buy fake eggs, and for the reason mentioned, I appreciate that. However, I think he would find it magical to have this "egg". Heck, so would I. Anyhow, I apologize for the novel. Dyakuyu

Angela, thank you so much for watching my video and for your kindness.

Beautiful, thank-you for sharing your techinques.

I really like working with the Ivory dish soap to wash the dye off. Thank you for stopping by.

Thank you for making this video! You remind me of the book of Titus in the Bible. A women that is a teacher of good things. :) Beautiful work!

thank you for making this video it was very helpful i have always wanted to do this that was a very beautiful design you did

It's been my greatest pleasure to share ideas, techniques, and products being used to create such artwork. Thank you for watching my videos. Hugs, Lorrie.

I DON'T HAVE A CREATIVE BONE IN MY BODY SO TO EVEN COME UP WITH THE DESIGN THAT YOU HAVE IS SO BEAUTIFUL TO ME.
