V18: Walnut Kintsugi Vase

Description

Kintsugi is an ancient Japanese tradition for mending broken pottery.  The philosphy of kinsugi highlights cracks and repairs as events in the life of an object.  I chose to use 24 karat gold leaf to repair the cracks in this sweet round walnut vase.  About 5.5″ tall.

This vase is NOT meant to hold water.
