Pysanka-Making

Supplies

 

Creating pysanky can be as simple or as complex as you wish to make it. All you really need is an egg, a candle, a stylus, beeswax and dyes.

As you become more proficient, and learn tricks of the trade, you may wish to add other tools to your armamentarium.

In the sections and pages that follow I’ve provided an in-depth discussion of the tools of the trade and various supplies helpful to the writing of pysanky.  The annotated outline on the next page will help you navigate around the site.
