I love the achievable texture, although the material has its own challenges - it is much harder to work than copper or silver. The results are very rewarding. Hoping to have these pieces finished soon.

more work in progress
I have been further experimenting with the faux shibuichi technique, which I want to use on my 'prayer scrolls'. Every new experiment and every step gives me another inspiration how to use this. This is where I am so far:

Beautiful! It has the look of an ancient artifact. I look forward to the finished piece.
These are so gorgeous Renate! I really love the texture and the organic quality.
Such lovely work, it inspires me to get out my beads and go to work myself-I've been in a little slump lately.
What a gorgeous look...love the combination of color with texture.
absolutely stunning - the patterns/texture you are creating are just so unique and beautiful... well, done - and i would say, worth the extra work for sure!
very cool patterns and I love the shape! Thanks for sharing a glimpse into your process. Enjoy the day!

I love the textures on the metal and thanks so much for sharing your process. I look forward to seeing the finished project.
AH! I banged my hand against the screen trying to grab at these gorgeous things!
S/R - great work - the detail work is exquisite - and just so fits with the notion of being a protective wrapper for a personal sacred scroll. Great concept, design and execution. Thanks for sharing. B

These look amazing, and I love your jewelry!
Very beautiful work. I'm looking forward to perusing more of your blog.
Very cool Renate! Love the metal wrapped around the fabric piece!
Irgendwas stimmt nicht mit Blogger bei mir. Meinst Du, ich hätte diese tollen Stücke aufploppen sehen? Traumhaft sind die. Gottlob sind sie mir nicht durch gerutscht!
Is the Shibuichi the base metal? How did you make the patterns on the top? It suits your style perfectly. Really looking forward to seeing the end result.
