What is Pysanky?

Pysanka Completed Pysanka using 4 dye baths	Measure First step: Divide the visual workspace of the egg, and mark design in pencil	Kistka Use the kistka to apply heated wax to the egg. Trace the pencilled markings for the white sections of your design	First layer complete The wax lines cover the areas of egg which are to remain white. Now ready for the first colour to be added...
Yellow dip Starting from lightest colour, gently place egg in dye bath for a couple minutes	Kistka yellow Now use the kistka to mark out the yellow parts of the design. The wax seals the coloured surface so future washes don't alter the chosen colour.	Red Next colour: Red. After dipping in the red dye, these new wax markings show where the red is going to stay	Blue After dipping in blue
Blue wax Now cover all the areas you want kept blue in preparation for final (black) wash.	Black Final wash complete. Now to remove all that wax and see the end result...	Pysanky -End Result Hooray!
