A couple of months ago, I received some orders for my kintsugi work. Since then, I've been repairing the broken china: two tea bowls for Japanese tea ceremony, and a cup for Japanese sake (liquor). I finally finished repairing them and I'd love to show them here.
I was worried about water leaking from the repaired parts, but even when I pored water, it didn't happen. It made me feel relieved. Especially, the sake cup looked very fine and thine, fixing it was the most challenging. I drew as thin and sharp a line as possible to match the delicate looking cup. I hope my customers are satisfied with my work.
Now, I am thinking to make some kintsugi accessories like pendant tops or studs. They might be unique to wear and could have a demand for them in the market. When I create some kintsugi accessories, I'll be sure to share them here again.

Hello @yumiyumayume. I would like you to someday write a post about the kintsugi process for repairing ceramics. Is it possible? Thank you very much.
Hi, @druida Thank you for the idea. I'd like to try it when I have some free time.
