The scratching technique of decorating Easter eggs fascinated her from the wide range of techniques. She has been actively engaged in production since 1992. This technique of decorating Easter eggs is one of the oldest and involves scratching colored eggshell. She uses a knife as a tool for scratching. Scratching is a relatively demanding decoration technique. It requires precision, accuracy, and patience. However, she started with waxed Easter eggs, which she got through a friend. During her early days, many women in Handlova, as well as in the nearby villages of Mala Causa and Velka Causa, decorated eggs using techniques such as straw sticking, batik, and waxing. When she later contacted the ÚĽUV with her waxed Easter eggs, she was told that there were enough eggs decorated with this technique on the market and asked if she would be interested in trying the scratching technique. She agreed and was put in touch with Magdaléna Vlčková from Prievidza, a ÚĽUV collaborator, who produced scratched Easter eggs for ÚĽUV and where she could learn this technique. At first, she scratched blue birds with ears following an approved design. After some time, she found it demotivating since she had to focus on just one pattern for the whole year. Currently, she supplies ÚĽUV with eggs decorated with her own approved patterns. These mainly include plant and floral motifs, as well as ornamental patterns resembling cross-stitch, creating a delicate network on the egg. When starting this craft, she never thought it would bring her so much joy for such a long time. She can’t go a single day without decorating eggs. She carries it with her everywhere. This is one of the things she looks forward to every morning, afraid that one day she might not be able to do this. She is happy that she came across this beautiful craft
