The More The Merrier - Family & Friends Pysanky Kit




“Mama!" my son shrieked with glee, "I drew a circle around the egg, straight and same width, without breaking the egg! Mama! Come see!"

The joy a mother and child reach with a bit of practice is worth every second. Sure it took him many tries, and now we've come to love our family time together as we prepare unique and colorful Pysanky for Easter. This joy surpasses anything we do together - unless it's eating fresh homemade perogies! Same joy!

Gather friends and family around the table for an unforgettable eggsperience!

What's in it? 

This pysanky kit contains:

  • 2 each of stainless steel tipped Fine, Medium & Heavy kistka (wax stylus) 
  • 13-colour dye kit
  • 4x pure black beeswax - 22g - enough for 2 - 3 dozen eggs depending on how much wax your design requires
  • 2x "Let's Write a Pysanka" instructional booklet
  • complimentary cleaning wire to keep the kistky clean.
  • **Notes when using Ukrainian EggCessories Dyes:
    Cream Soda Pink, Yukon Gold, Cleansing Orange & Cleansing Yellow DO NOT use vinegar. Please leave your eggshell in the dye long enough to get your preferred colour. To get a strong black, you may need to wash back your last dye colour until your eggshell is a nice exposed shell, dip in vinegar for 30 seconds and then put in Orca Black longer than 10 minutes.

    SAFETY FIRST
    Breathing in or digesting pysanka dye powder can cause extreme abdominal pain and respiratory symptoms, such as a cough, shortness of breath, and a sore throat. Contact with eyes can result in redness and pain, and skin contact may cause redness as well. For arts and crafts purposes only, not food grade.

    Due to these concerns, NIOSH suggests preventative measures for those working with acid pysanka dyes, such as protecting the skin with gloves, eyes with eyewear and providing appropriate ventilation while also wearing a N95 mask.
