craftgrrlDoes anyone know anything about this?
It was a technique that's been practiced in Asia and other regions of the world for thousands of years. It involves layering lacquer- usually in varying colors- to a desired thickness. The resulting material is carved much like wood or stone and the layers show through.
Several examples.
Some of it is just carved wood with the lacquer applied, but that's not what I'm talking about.
Has anyone ever done this?
