The bell is copper - then the faux shibuichi technique is applied - which was pretty difficult to do on this 3D form. A matte onyx carved flower functions as the clapper of the bell - so this necklace makes a tinkling noise when it is worn.

First piece of the year...
Just finished the first new piece in this year - still playing with the faux shibuichi and the bells... although this is a smaller version of the bell.

more amulets and talismans...
I am continuing work with the faux shibuichi - it is so very fascinating - and have a finished necklace and more work in progress... seems the ideas are coming faster than I can finish pieces.

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:
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.
