| These are not the kistky you will find in Ukraine. Before the
age
of plastics, the traditional kistka was more often used. It has a
wood handle and a rolled metal cup to hold the beeswax. However,
before you decide to go entirely traditional, please consider these
modern
marvels of the space age. They are quite easy for the beginner to
manage,
and to obtain good results with a minimum amount of frustration. The
tips
are made of brass, and heat evenly. The hole in the tip is very
uniform
and holds it shape during normal use. The handles are made of durable heat
resistant
Delrin.

| These kistky are not intended for the beginner, but the advanced pysanky artist.
The funnel and tip are made of machined brass and hold the heat for a much
longer period of time. This gives the artist more time to make longer
and more intricate designs in a shorter period of time. In fact, these
kistky are known by the name of the "Almost Electric Kistka". The
fine tips allow the artist to draw fine lines, however to avoid clogging, we recommend using our professional series strip wax. The handles are made of nylon and care must be taken to not overheat the head or place the handles directly in a flame. MADE IN USA |
| Interesting Fact: The word kistka (pronounced keest-kah) comes from the Ukrainian word kist which means bone, suggesting that the original kistka was a piece of animal bone dipped in melted beeswax. The singular is kistka; the plural is kistky (pronounced keest-ky.) |
