Here are some new pieces, they both are yobitsugi, the darker one is from 3 bowls, the larger plate is from 2 pieces. They both are Edo period E-Karatsu. The photos of the statue head of course aren’t kintsugi, just a very nice piece made from wood.

This video shows me making a muro, a drying box necessary for doing traditional, lacquer based kintsugi. The parts cost about 10 U.S.dollars and the video is unedited so it took about 3minutes and a half.
I am making this for the Sarasota, Florida workshop which starts today.
