How do you decorate eggs with a stained-glass effect?
There are two ways that pysanky artists achieve a stained-glass effect. One is to wax a white egg in the desired pattern, then apply dye to spots on the egg using either a paintbrush or some other application tool, such as a toothpick, a bamboo skewer, or a craft micro-applicator. The other method is to dye the egg black, wax the egg, bleach it back to white, and apply dye in the manner described above. A variation of this method is to dop the entire egg into the desired colors of dye (working from light to dark) and waxing over the areas to retain the dye color before each successive dye bath. I have found it to be quite difficult to apply black wax to a black egg when the black is the FIRST dye bath. This approach definitely requires the use of strong light and a magnifying glass! It is helpful to have white wax on hand for waxing dark coloured eggs. White wax can be made by simply adding a white crayon to your wax, then you will be able to see your lines.

What is wax resist?
The basic underlying technique used in creating pysanky is wax-resist. Pure beeswax is applied to the eggshell, to which it adheres firmly. The egg is then placed in cold-water dye, and the eggshell absorbs the dye everywhere except the areas with wax on them. The egg is placed in a series of dye baths, beginning with light colors and ending with dark, and more wax is applied after each dyebath. When the wax is removed at the end of the process, the multi-colored design is revealed.Pysanka artists usually begin by applying wax to a plain, white eggshell. Every spot to which wax is applied at this point will stay white throughout the entire dyeing process. The wax acts as a barrier or shield, protecting the shell underneath from the dye. After the first dye bath (usually yellow), the artist applies more wax onto the egg, protecting the first color of the egg, before placing the egg into a second color of dye. The parts of the egg that had wax applied to them when the egg was white will stay white. The parts of the egg that had wax applied to them when the egg was yellow will stay yellow. The rest of the eggshell will change to the new dye color. If the wax is melted off at this point, the final dye is the background color, and the design is in white and yellow.
How do you dye white candles?
To dye white candles, you'll need candle dye or crayon shavings, which can be melted with the wax. Start by melting the wax in a double boiler, then add the dye until you achieve the desired color. Stir well to ensure even distribution, then pour the colored wax into your candle mold or container. Allow the candle to cool and harden before using.
Is an iron used in batik?
Yes, an iron can be used in the batik process, particularly for setting the wax and for finishing the fabric. After applying wax to create designs, the fabric is often ironed to remove any excess wax and to help set the dye colors. However, traditional batik primarily relies on hot wax applications and dyeing techniques rather than ironing as a main part of the design process.
What does resist mean in Batik?
In batik, resist is the wax/beeswax/parrafin you use to keep the dye OFF the piece of fabric. Example: You want to dye a white piece of fabric "green" and leave a white heart on it. You would paint a heart onto the fabric with wax, allow it to dry, dip the fabric in green dye, allow it to dry, remove the wax. At this point, the fabric would be completely green EXCEPT where the wax was. The wax coated the fabric in a heart-shape and caused that heart-shaped section to RESIST being dyed.
Is there dye in colored candles?
Yes. Wax is naturally clear or milky in color.
A person who designs of the cloths with wax?
A person who designs clothes with wax is often involved in a technique called batik or wax resist dyeing. This method involves applying wax to fabric in intricate patterns before dyeing it, creating unique and vibrant designs. The wax prevents the dye from penetrating the covered areas, resulting in beautiful contrasts and detailed artwork on the fabric. Designers using this technique often blend traditional craftsmanship with contemporary fashion trends.
Which textile dyeing techniques uses wax to cover the areas not to be dyed?
