This is a figure I have posted before but it is so nice I thought I would post it again.
I have decided to make a new site from which I can sell from. Up until now I have sold through Etsy and found it convenient although expensive in fees. They have just raised their fees to a potential 15% of a sale
which I assume most sellers will deal with by raising prices. Instead I will either set up a store on this site or make a new site. The domain won’t change, it will still be the same URL.
These 2 bowls came to me a couple of months ago and I am getting around to working on them.
Both are very old, from 16th. –17th. century, Korean.
I just finished a 3 day workshop in Nara, here are some of the things we did. These are new, synthetic powdered colors.
This video shows the last polishing of silver #3 on 2 pieces I am finishing for someone who did the substrate lacquer. There is a breakthrough on the first one and second one, probably caused by the application of the red. Short of completely sanding everything off and reapplying the metal there is no way to fix it.
