Handmade Process
The pieces begin with a clean quail egg canvas. Pencil guidelines are drawn for each design, then the designs are "written" with melted beeswax that flows through a funnel-like pen called a "kistka". The wax masks the colour of the shell. The egg is then dipped in dye and that colour is then covered with beeswax. Layer by layer each colour is covered till the desired design is completed. Then the wax is removed by either candle flame or a heat gun. The quail egg then carefully cut in half with a diamond cutting wheel and shaped and sanded to smooth any rough edges. Each piece is signed by the artists hand and the UV Epoxy resin is filled in the back then coated on the front. Components to make the pendants are then added to complete each piece. No pieces are identical as they are individually handmade and written. There may be imperfections as the eggshell has a life of its own when it takes the dyes and their natural shapes.
This process is an ancient traditional Ukrainian artform that is highly respected.
They are known as "Pysanky" which comes from the word "pysaty" which then translates to "written" which is why the patterns and symbols are written with a kistka funnel pen tool and not painted.
