金継ぎ プロジェクトその１

金継ぎを初めて１年。
続けて通えればいいのだけれど、なかなかそうもいかなくて、
のんびりのんびり。
とはいえ、少しずつだけど作品は仕上がっています。
It's been a year since I started kintsugi lessons.
Though progress is much slower than I want to,
some projects are completed.

最近仕上げたのがこの２枚
These two dishes are my most recent works.

上の１枚は、黒い漆だけで仕上げ、２枚目は漆の上から
銀粉をまいたもの。
味わいがなんとなく違っておもしろい。
The dish on top has lacquer finish. Just black and plain.
The bottom dish has some silver powder on top of lacquer.
Both are plain but tastes are somehow different.

仕上げの過程で、うっかり素手で漆をさわってしまい、
手が腫れて大変なことに。
おまけに、毎朝４時頃になると、猛烈かかゆみで目が覚める。
暑いし、これは結構大変。
子ども達も驚いて、お稽古やめなさいと言われる始末。
During the finalization, I put some lacquer on my hand
that caused a severe reaction. At around 4 in the morning,
it starts getting so itchy that I can no longer sleep.
My kids were just shocked how itchy and painful the reaction is
and now told me to stop the lesson.
