My last work for the HANDMADE & CRAFT DESIGN Contest sponsored by nTOPAZ- "Pysanka"
A pysanka is a traditional Easter egg in Ukraine , decorated with folk designs using a wax-resist method. The word pysanka comes from the verb "to write" as the designs are not painted on, but written with beeswax.
Pysanka is a raw eggs created with the wax-resist method (batik). The designs are "written" in hot wax with a pinhead or a special stylus called a pysachok or a kistka which has a small funnel attached to hold a small amount of liquid wax.
Beeswax shred into small pieces and put it in the styluses.
Styluses heate over a small candle, until wax is melted inside.
The molten wax applied to the white egg with a writing motion.
Then the egg dyed yellow, and more wax applied.
The next- orange, then wax layer again, then red and wax layer, then purple or blue color, wax layer and black. (The dye sequence always from light to dark).
Any waxed bit of egg is not stained and remain previous color.
After the final dark color, usually brown or black, the wax remove by heating the egg over the candle and gently wiping with a dry rag the melted wax.
Thank you for watching!
Hello @sweettais, thank you for sharing the information about the pysanka and the process for its elaboration, my person did not know at all the pysachok technique. I love your style artistic style, I've been searching the internet to learn about the method of pysachok and I think it's wonderful, I'll see if in the future I apply it to the maracas that are original to my culture.
Thank you! :)
They are so lovely. We also have the tradition of dying eggs at Easter and breaking them at the night of Resurrection, in Greece. But we only colour them and sometimes do motifs with small leaves. Those are amazing, a lot of work is done and look like work of art:) Do you break them also? Because it would be a shame to break them being so beautiful:)
Thank you!
I do'nt break them, because I really like this eggs too:)
Hey! Nice Easter eggs 😉😁

Дуже гарно вийшло! Я все збираюсь спробувати якийсь майстер клас, і ніяк не зберуся :)
Дякую!

Those are good looking sets of Easter eggs. I often see simple designs this one tops them all off. I appreciate the small details of dots and lines on the sides. Good to see you're painting it like it was on a canvas :D
Thank you!
