#AtoZchallenge 2021: K is for Kintsugi

From Wikipedia:


Kintsugi ("golden joinery"), also known as kintsukuroi ("golden repair"), is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum, a method similar to the maki-e technique. As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise.

as part of the Blogging from A to Z Challenge.

With each letter, I am going to feature something about my art work.

 

A note about comments:

I'm using an add-in system called Disqus.

If you don't see their branding (and horrible ads), it's going to the old system and your comment won't be public.
