FAQs
What is the traditional tool used for Pysanky?
The traditional tool used is called a kistka, which is a specialized wax-writing stylus with a tiny funnel at the end. It holds melted beeswax to draw precise lines on the eggshell.
Do you use raw or hard-boiled eggs for Pysanky?
Traditional Pysanky is created using clean, room-temperature raw eggs. The wax-resist batik method and intense dyes adhere best to uncooked shells, which are later emptied or preserved.
