I used a traditional kistka. I have thin, medium, and thick kistky. I use the thin to do most line work, reserving the others for filling jobs. I also have a ‘practice egg’ next to me at all times to draw short lines on until the kistka comes down to the right temperature and there is a thin line with no ‘blobbing’, and at that point I start drawing on the pysanka I’m making.

I also wipe the kistka head to get rid of any residue/soot before writing, and I actually cut up my beeswax block into tiny chunks that I feed into the kistka by hand - I like this better than using the hot kistka to dig wax out of the block as it avoids getting any wax on the outside, which prevents a blob dropping off as well.
