The pysanka-writing process
![Page 9: How to Write Pysanky](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56815202550346895dc04376/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
It is a variant of batik
(wax resist)
![Page 10: How to Write Pysanky](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56815202550346895dc04376/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
First we write the design on the egg in pencil
![Page 11: How to Write Pysanky](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56815202550346895dc04376/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Next, the design is written in beeswax
![Page 12: How to Write Pysanky](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56815202550346895dc04376/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Everything written in wax will remain white
![Page 13: How to Write Pysanky](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56815202550346895dc04376/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
In the process of batik (wax-resist) the egg is dyed in a series of dyebaths, beginning with the lightest color and
ending with the darkest.
![Page 14: How to Write Pysanky](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56815202550346895dc04376/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The lightest color of dye is yellow. We dye the egg and then write with
wax on the yellow egg.

We add a bit of green color to the egg with a brush or Q-tip, and then
write dots
![Page 16: How to Write Pysanky](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56815202550346895dc04376/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The next dye color is orange; we dye the egg and write on the orange
shell.

Next we dye the egg red and write on it.
![Page 18: How to Write Pysanky](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56815202550346895dc04376/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The last color should be the darkest;in our case, it will be black.
