Kintsugi materials, brushes
There are several types of brushes for kintsugi. For most lines a medium brush will suffice, for getting the finest lines either a fine or very fine brush will be necessary. All are natural fiber and handmade in Japan. They should be cleaned with vegetable oil and stored with a very thin coating of oil which needs to be removed before use.

Current kintsugi projects

Here is what I am working on.
The glaze repair bowls had bubbled glaze when they came out of the kiln. I have used a grinder to get that off and now have a good base of lacquer which I am sanding. One I will finish in gold, the other in silver.
The chip bowl is one I was going to do yobitsugi on but decided to just build it up instead. I will use hemp fiber on it.
