My wife and I at one of our first events in Japanese garb. (I know my sleeves are all wrong!) 6/2/12 #SCA #societyofcreativeanachronism #mysca #meridies #kingdomofmeridies #shireofcrimsonriver #supercrown #artsycrown #scajapanese
This is a #Maki-e #蒔絵 tea box. A Japanese technique where images are drawn on with lacquer then gold dust is applied to the surface of lacquerware. ( #Heian period - Modern) You can see my entry to the #kingdomartsandsciences competition in the second photo. I did not do well in the competition for multiple reasons, all of which I agree with losing points for. The unfinished bamboo I chose sucked up lacquer like a sieve and took 24 hours to dry. Six coats was still not enough to make it shiny. I was so desperate to make it shiny I did my last coat right before leaving for the event and placed it in the car window hoping to help it dry faster from sun and heat. Apparently lacquer (or the lacquer I chose) does not like this and it bubbled up, and caused some of the gold dust to wrinkle. I also dropped it while it was still tacky and caused more damage. Overall all I was extremely unhappy with the piece. Since then I have cleaned it up. (1st photo) I am planning to do this project again with a more appropriate wood surface, more period lacquer and plenty of time for the lacquer to dry in a stable environment. #Artsycrown #supercrown #scaartsandsciences #meridies #kingdomofmeridies #scaartist #scaapprentice #shireofcrimsonriver #mysca #SCA

6.2.12 This was a great event for us, our shire ran #kingdomartsandsciences, it was a lot of work for everyone, but it was a lot of fun. I am happy we were able to all pull it together. #SCA #societyofcreativeanachronism #mysca #meridies #kingdomofmeridies #shireofcrimsonriver #supercrown #artsycrown #scajapanese
