This video shows applying gold to the large, main piece over glass lacquer to the break-face of a large, fishing-net globe. It isn’t possible to drop gold onto the surface since it is so narrow so I am dipping my brush into the gold. I will let the pieces dry for about a week and then do the same to the main, large part of the fishing-net globe.

This video shows removing and shaping sabi. The sabi I applied a couple of days ago I made with lacquer for glass since I have a tube I want to use up. The sabi is still too soft, it is still cold here in Japan and it isn’t curing fast.

The video shows fitting pure copper staples to the body of the bowl. I am using regular hand held burner to heat them, the staples are held on kiln bricks which are fireproof. The third staple fitting fails and that is the end of the video. I straightened out the points of that staple and then refitted it.

Finish by using tissue to remove the excess.
