For the final coating process, we use authentic in

For the final coating process, we use authentic insect(Ericerus pela🐜) wax. It is easy to apply with heating. Texture is similar to the paraffin, more smooth and hard protection surely.
After then, I put the gold leaves for inside. Instructed by @koichi_io at @aokinschool

Mysterious moments of turquoise green and autumn r

Mysterious moments of turquoise green and autumn red. For the main colouring process, turned up the heat, it was kept around 65~85℃ for 30~60mins. We often drop plum vinegar(magical items again) to get bright red colour. Films are 0min, 20mins, 30mins, 45mins.

I finished Pre-colouring, it was already nice bright orange! You need to keep moving it in the solution for even reacting.

After intensive cleaning, we could start to simmer

After intensive cleaning, we could start to simmer a piece into solutions. In this pre-coloring process, it needs to keep around 40~50℃ for sure foundation. If you can see some faults and stains, please back to the previous process, rub them off and simmer again to be getting the even surface in this step.

The cleaning process needs huge patience with Zen

The cleaning process needs huge patience with Zen mind.
Especially in this patination, piece easily gets to react to any subtle oxidation. So I was required to took a few hours at least to polish and rub off everything on surface. All during final rubbing, we use squeezed Daikon radish (left side 1st pic) juice for preventing oxidation from water. Everyone doesn’t know why, but so it really works well. The fingerprint is absolutely out of the question.
We can not afford any compromises at all...! Clean it sure step by step.🧗‍♂️🧗‍♂️
段取り8割とはよく言ったものです。煮色着色は下地がとても重要です！

I made a silver flask for his collection. This collection is inspired by “La Reve” Henri Rousseau. And I overlaid with another fruit in paradise, as 2 persons flow in a dream of Genesis.
