Daisy Flower Maki-e



Description:

Daisy Flowers - Lacquer with daisy flower heads built from white and yellow urushi
The intense color is achieved by mixing titanium white respectively Cadmium yellow
pigments into transparent “sukurome” urushi. The mixture is 8 parts pigments to 2 parts urushi. Since the paste became very thick I could only apply it at a temperature of 50ºC. On this pens, the Daisy flowers are appied on a fresh “Midori Kin Nuri” Green Gold Urushi Lacquer ground. Customers can chose their favored urushi ground, on which the flowers are applied
