Sedalia Dave Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 WOW a lot of talent goes into those. Because I had to look it up What is Pysanky Quote A pysanka is a Ukrainian Easter egg, decorated with traditional Ukrainian folk designs using a wax-resist method. The word pysanka comes from the verb pysaty, "to write" or "to inscribe", as the designs are not painted on, but written (inscribed) with beeswax. Many other Central and Eastern European ethnic groups decorate eggs using wax resist for Easter. These include the Belarusians (пісанка, pisanka), Bulgarians (писано яйце, pisano yaytse), Carpatho-Rusyns (крашанкы, krašankŷ, or писанкы, pysankŷ), Croats (pisanica), Czechs (kraslice), Hungarians (hímestojás), Lithuanians (margutis), Poles (pisanka), Romanians (ouă vopsite, încondeiate or împistrite), Serbs (pisanica), Slovaks (kraslica), Slovenes (pirhi, pisanice, or remenke) and Sorbs (jejka pisać).

Figuring out where to put wax when to make sure you get the colors in the right places. First you put wax on the areas you want to stay white and dye the egg in the lightest color. Then apply wax to the parts that will stay that lightest color, and so on. And after all the dyes have been applied holding it near a candle to heat the wax so you can rub it off.

Sedalia Dave Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Just finished a couple of videos on how it was traditionally done. Makes it even more impressive. Thanks for sharing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
