These photos show making a cardboard outline to shape a tsa-tsa figure. I did fill in to this figure several months ago and am now ready to sand back to the shape I want. The shape is sufficient to cut it back to the target shape but I will still need to do filling out to make it thick enough. There are also cracks to fill, it looks like this piece was broken into about 4 pieces and someone glued it back together. The photos show the final, cardboard outline. The black areas show where I need to shave back.

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 applying glass lacquer to the main part of a large, fishing-net globe. The reason for applying lacquer to the break-face is so I can then apply gold. When clear, non opaque glass is reassembled with mugiurushi you can, unlike ceramic, see the break-face. If you don’t apply gold to it you will see a black line.

This video shows applying gold over glass lacquer to the break-face of a large, fishing-net globe. The edges of the glass are razor sharp which is why I am being so careful with handling it.
