In this blog you will see a pdf file to download, that has some suggestions of color combinations and an example of a Lemko Drop Pull pysanky for each. Most Lemko Drop Pull designs incorporate less colors than other pysanky traditions. Typically, it will start with White plus one color; yet they can be rendered beginning with White plus up to three additional colors. The choice is yours. It is important to note that Lemko Drop Pull pysanky remove the wax at the end of the process, unlike Lithuanian pysanky that apply colored waxes and leave them on the egg.
As you see in previous blogs, the Lemko Drop Pull pysanky are made with a hot liquid bees wax and were traditionally applied with a pin head instead of a kistka. The pin places a drop of wax on the egg and then the drop is pulled sideways making wonderful strokes of wax. The strokes are arranged into traditional patterns.
