The Ukrainian Pulse 0103: The Art of Making Pysanky 

I would use the light blue green eggs. The dark olive you can do with acrylic paint using the pull drop method.

Her name is Luba Petrusha. Tried twice to put the link here to her blog but for some reason when I come back to this video, my reply was gone.

​@@pysankarThank you so much! I was hoping someone here would answer that question. Just found the blog, which is pysanky (dot) info (slash) pysanky. So thrilled to look into all of the symbolism to use in my own pysanky.😊🥚

That depends on how you finish the egg. Some finishes will seal the egg surface completely and the moisture inside the egg cannot escape. Sometimes the insides will actually spoil and willl create gasses and crack or even explode the egg. Its not a common thing but it does happen so its a risk to consider depending how/if you seal the egg with a finish.

Unfortunately store bought eggs are frozen and sometimes cleaned with harsh detergent. Unless you know someone who has chickens, it's better to blow the pysanka out after the varnish dries.

What NONSENSE!!!! Ukrainians have lived on Ukrainian lands for hundreds of years. They were on their lands even when they were occupied by other countries and maintained their traditions and culture even when their enemies tried to destroy their way of life and their heritage. Ukrainians now have their own state and don't need foreign chauvinists to tell them they did not exist. In this video we have an example of Ukrainian culture that Poles did not manage to eliminate.

@@catnap387 Are you high on Cat Nap? Because of Poland art of pisanki and the Ukrainian language, culture survived in Ukraine.

@@gancarzpl Really!! Well I don't know where Poles disappeared to when Poland was wiped off the map for 150 years! Poles are under the grandiose impression that they are saviours of the world. Well sorry to say that Ukrainians are the people who saved themselves from Pilsudski's Polonisation in the 1930's in spite of Polish efforts. It is the Ukrainian spirit that has withstood all kinds of pressures from their foreign occupants. Don't flatter yourselves!!

Odd, I was learning some of Ukraine 's history and it never said Ukraine is only 35 years old. And all of the people in that area of the world were pagan before Christianity. Nobody was Christian before Christ was born.

​@@susanfarley1332 You nailed it and give yourself an answer by saying “Nobody was Christian before Christ was born”. This is why Ukraine is only 35 years old, anybody who is saying differently is wrong.
