Description
Traditional Copper Kistkas
Marie Procai, founder of the Ukrainian Gift Shop, made her first writing tool (kistka) using the metal tip of a shoelace. After she married Tony Procai, he made the tools for her and their family. He made copper cones and pushed them through a wooden dowel. Then he bound the copper cone and dowel together with copper wire. This style of kistka is still hand made by the Ukrainian Gift Shop, Inc. They are the traditional kistky.
These handy tools can also be used for Encaustics and Fabric Batik.
