As you all know I like to do things different and apply my fine art painting techniques. So this is my latest attempt at another Japaning pen (Urushi imitation). I really like how this one turned out and how the gold leaf almost glows underneath all the paint. There are 10+ layers of paint on this. The base is a random wood. Some more that I am working on. I was able to visit Martin (ManvPropria) in Bern this past Monday and learned a lot. Hopefully by next year sometime I will be making real urushi pens and not this imitation stuff (more about my visit on a later post with pictures). His studio is AMAZING! Great guy too.
Thanks for looking!
