Cleaned up the lines on my kintsugi pieces. Looking better than I'd hoped, for the most part. The cracked plate I used for practice is paying for my poor skill with the rotary tool at this point, but it's a mass-produced, basic piece; the two pieces I made with my own hands are at least looking alright, aside from urushi stains on their unglazed feet and bottoms. (Really should have used masking tape, as I'd been advised to do.)

I now wonder what an unglazed bottom of a kintsugi looks like and how a rotary tool may affect it. I'm now going to search the retro net for clues about this artform. · 6 months ago
FWIW, these are all pieces that broke in the normal course of using them. I don't plan to ever break things for the purpose of fixing them, as it seems to me to go against the spirit of the repair arts (or at least kintsugi in particular). · 6 months ago
