Drapanki-Scratch Egg Tools

1/28/2017

Wow, I bought a new set of scratch tools from Pysanky USA, and spent all yesterday experimenting with them on a chicken egg. The first picture is the egg not yet completed-the view shows both sides so far, but look closely to see the delicate scratching on the madallion face; I did this with the tool that has the handle marking red/blue in picture #2- this is a fine point for fine detail scratching. The eternity band side picture #3 was mostly done with the larger point tool;it easily scrapes away bigger spaces. It's always exciting to get new tools! And I appreciate having the tools come in a set. Lovin' It!
