Shelly in VA Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Has anyone bought supplies online to do this? I would like to order the tools, because I can't find them locally, but if someone has used an online company before and can recommend them, that would be great! I found http://www.allthingsukrainian.com - any idea if this is a good site for ordering? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol in Cal. Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 However, I got my first kit from Hearthsong, and I think that they still have them. Word to the wise--buy the optional book as well--it is way better than the instructions in the kit. You will love this--it is so impressive right from the start, and you can get really creative with the technique once you get the hang of it.

Mekanamom Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I wish I had something helpful to say about where to get supplies. My mom has done these for years and years, and I don't know where she bought my kit. I just wanted to pop in and say you are in for a fun time! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelly in VA Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 Thanks, everyone; I'm excited to place an order and start working on these! I think my 13yo dd will enjoy doing them with me, as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelly in VA Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 I'm looking forward to giving this a try. It's one of those many, many things I've been wanting to try for a while now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAR120C Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I've ordered other Ukrainian stuff from Yevshan... although I've never actually ordered the dyes from there -- I got a few when I was up in Michigan last time. Keep in mind, the ones you use for pysanky are not edible at all -- you dye the eggs raw and then shellac them to keep. I'm sure you know that but I feel compelled to say it over and over in case anyone was going to mistakenly switch them. ;) On the plus side, once you've mixed the dyes you can keep them in jars (like canning jars) all year. Just don't keep them on the top of the fridge where one might get knocked off by the cat and fall behind and break.... trust me. :eek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jane in NC Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I've had wonderful service from this company also. Cynthia Luba's dyes are brilliant. This has become a favorite family tradition. Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelly in VA Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 Thanks for letting me know I can keep the dyes once they are mixed up - that is helpful. And of course, the suggestion about the refrigerator-top-cat-scenario, also very helpful. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
