How to empty a Pysanky egg

This is my method of emptying Pysanky eggs using the syringe technique.

Ciao, sono italiana e spero tu possa tradurre,posso chiederti il piano di asciugatura dove acquistarlo e se può essere inserito in forno a 40°? Grazie mille

very good video Donna. If you are thinking about making other videos in the future I'd love to see you emptying a finished egg. I have a question. I have old pysanky eggs which are still full. Do you think I can still clean them or might they stink too much or be too hard to do it? Thanks so much for you videos!

Hi , I empty a finished egg exactly the same way as I was emptying this unfinished egg. How old are the eggs that you are thinking about emptying? At a certain point, if they have started to solidify inside, you can’t empty them any longer.

@@Andrea-two It’s too late to empty those. I recently emptied some eggs that were about six months old and they were all gummy. It took me about an hour to empty each one and the whole ended up getting too big it was not successful. A lot has to do with how they’ve been kept but I’m sure they haven’t been in the refrigerator. I’m not exactly sure where the point is when you can no longer empty an egg but if you can not feel liquid when you shake the egg or if the egg is heavily weighted to one side then it’s too late.

I have seen not to touch your eggs with you bear finger due to oil gets on your egg ! please help from a beginner! Do or Don't?

You should keep your hands as clean as possible, but I absolutely work on my eggs with bare hands. Occasionally, I will wear gloves if my hands have gotten dye on them and I’m afraid of transferring a dye color I don’t want to the egg that I’m working on. I have both white cotton gloves and nitrile gloves. It is true that the oil on your fingers can cause problems or if you get wax on your fingers, so I make an effort to keep my hands clean, but I absolutely touch my eggs as I work on them, and most pysanky artists do.
