β¦ Restoring my new treasure: Welcome to your new home, little baby π° π - Collage & Edition in FotoJet, photos by @Tesmoforia β¦
πͺπΈ ~ Β‘Mi colecciΓ³n de conejitos de porcelana, piedra tallada y cerΓ‘mica tiene un nuevo integrante!, ayer me regalaron este hermoso conejo blanco con estampado de flores y ojos pintados a mano; la persona que me lo obsequiΓ³ me cuenta que el bolso donde lo tenΓa durante el camino se le callΓ³ y por eso esta roto, pero a mi no me importa.
πΊπΈ ~ My collection of porcelain, carved stone, and ceramic bunnies has a new addition! Yesterday, I was given this beautiful white rabbit with a floral pattern and hand-painted eyes. The person who gave it to me told me that the bag they were carrying it in fell out on the way, which is why it's broken, but I don't mind.
β¦ The kittens were very interested in the new bunny; when the restoration was finished, I gave them the paper to play with xD spoiler: They went crazy β¦
Como se aprecia en las fotos se le han quebrado las orejitas y el laqueado, es una pena porque es una pieza realmente bonita; hoy estoy me siento sΓΊper motivada a repararlo con la tΓ©cnica del "Kintsugi" aunque yo utilizare otros materiales.
As you can see in the photos, the ears and lacquer have broken, which is a shame because it's a really beautiful piece. Today I feel super motivated to repair it using the βKintsugiβ technique, although I will use other materials.
(1) Lo primero que hice fue limpiar con 1 paΓ±o seco y limpio todo el conejito y su orejita rota, (2) luego peguΓ© la orejita con algo de silicΓ³n frΓo, (3) y cuando estuvo completamente seco, limpie de nuevo toda la pieza (4) y agreguΓ© con 1 pincel fino algo de pegamento para lΓ‘minas de oro (tambiΓ©n se le dice "barniz mordiente").
(1) The first thing I did was clean the entire bunny and its broken ear with a dry, clean cloth. (2) then I glued the ear back on with some cold silicone, (3) and when it was completely dry, I cleaned the whole piece again (4) and added some glue for gold leaf (also called βbite varnishβ) with a fine brush.
(5) EsperΓ© un aproximado de 2 horas, (6) y luego con 1 brocha pequeΓ±a de cerdas suaves apliquΓ© pan de oro molido en movimientos circulares por encima de todas las lΓneas donde apliquΓ© el pegamento para lΓ‘minas de oro, que tambien se le conoce como "pan de oro". (7) Finalmente dejarΓ© reposar la pieza en un lugar seguro libre de humedad.
(5) I waited approximately 2 hours, (6) and then, using a small soft-bristled brush, I applied ground gold leaf in circular motions over all the lines where I had applied the gold leaf adhesive, also known as βgold leaf.β (7) Finally, I will leave the piece to rest in a safe place free from moisture.
On previous occasions, I have repaired broken ceramic or clay pieces at home using this technique, but instead of ground gold leaf, I used a fine brush and applied acrylic paint or cold paint βover the scarsβ to create the illusion of golden scars.
I thoroughly enjoyed this brief afternoon of restoration and, as a way of celebrating the arrival of this new friend to my precious collection (I LOVE PORCELAIN RABBITS AND CATS), I also decided to try out a new, more concise and specific tutorial-blog format.
Sometimes we experience simple, short creative processes, and I want to believe that it's worth recording, sharing, and celebrating them if they contain unique features such as an unusual material or a useful substitute suggestion.
En ocasiones anteriores ya he reparado piezas de cerΓ‘mica o barro que se han roto en casa con esta tΓ©cnica pero en lugar del pan de oro molido utilicΓ© un pincel fino y aplique "encima de las cicatrices" pintura acrΓlica o pintura al frΓo para crear esa ilusiΓ³n de cicatrices doradas.
He disfrutado muchΓsimo esta breve tarde de restauraciΓ³n y a modo de celebraciΓ³n por la llegada de este nuevo amigo a mi preciada colecciΓ³n (AMO LOS CONEJOS Y GATOS DE PORCELANA) me animΓ© tambiΓ©n a probar un nuevo formato de tutorial-blog de naturaleza mΓ‘s concisa y puntual.
A veces experimentamos procesos creativos simples y de pocos pasos y yo quiero creer que vale la pena registrarlos, compartirlos y celebrarlos si contienen particularidades como algΓΊn material poco frecuente o una sugerencia de sustituto ΓΊtil.
β¦ Wish me luck so that more porcelain bunnies will come to me! / 1 - 2 β¦
