Supplies Outline

 
 



This section is still in progress, but quite a few page have been written.  In this section I have an annotated list of basic supplies, as well a list of  “additional” supplies that are useful in the making of pysanky (aka “luxuries”).  Other sections include pages about those pysanka supplies and equipment that could use more elaboration, like styluses, dyes and eggs, and discuss the equipment needed for drop-pull pysanky.
