Pysanka Ornament -- Green Hen Eggshell

size: 3  in plus string for hanging

-- Ukrainian Hand-Decorated EggThis egg is a one of a kind, and ready to ship.

 

Decorated Eggs are made using the ancient method of wax resist batik method. Wax is applied to the emptied eggshell, using a small tool called a "kistka". The egg is then put into a dye bath, with the wax protecting the covered areas from subsequent color changes. This process is alternately repeated (wax/dye/wax/dye). After the full design is applied, the wax is removed (by melting it over a candle flame and wiping off) to reveal the bright colors underneath. The eggs are then coated with 2 to 4 coats of UV Protective acrylic.

 

About me and my shop: Writing pysanky is a tradition that has been observed in my Ukrainian - Lemko family ever since i can remember. It is a tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation of Ukrainians for well over two-thousand years. I am proud to carry on this tradition. I create pysanky with traditional patterns, but i also enjoy creating fresh interpretations and original designs (like my beach-inspired seashell patterns).The pictures show some of the eggs I have in stock at the moment or have recently sold. Call me about a specific egg you are interested in, or call me about a customized and/or personalized design (I can incorporate names / dates into the design). They make great gifts, especially to commemorate a special birthday, anniversary, new home, or just to give to someone special.More designs will be posted shortly. Check back often.Visit me online at www.PysankyByBasia.com You can also find me on Facebook and Instagram at PysankyByBasia.and visit my other shop on Etsy, MemoBoardsByBasia
