Washi Paper Flower Great Burnet Figurine Autumn Decor Handmade

*＊* "Great Burnet" Figurine Colored with Washi Paper *＊* The "Great Burnet" (Sanguisorba officinalis, known as Waremoko in Japan) is loved for its cute, matchstick-like shape formed by clusters of tiny red flowers. Its deep crimson blooms are gorgeous and beautiful, making it a popular autumn flower often used in Ikebana (flower arranging). We have recreated the vibrant blooming of the Great Burnet by coloring it with various types of Washi paper. To express the texture of the clustered florets, we carefully pasted tiny balls made of finely torn Washi rolled by fingertips. Furthermore, we used several types of brown and green Washi paper to color the soil base where the Burnet grows. Even the smallest details of the work are colored by utilizing the natural hues of the Washi paper itself. For those who are too busy to go out for nature walks... we hope that by displaying this piece, you can feel the breath of nature and spend a calm, enriching time right in your own home. ―――――――――――――――――――――― ≪About the Item≫ ● Materials: Washi paper, stone powder clay, wire, varnish, resin, pottery clay (base only) ● Size: Height approx. 12cm x Width approx. 8cm x Depth approx. 7cm / Weight: approx. 35g o Finished with a water-resistant varnish. o The connection between the flower and stem is attached with strong adhesive and reinforced with resin.

Imagine a "3D version of Washi Chigiri-e (torn paper art)," where pieces of Washi torn by hand or cut with scissors are carefully pasted one by one. This might help visualize our coloring method♪ The colors of the work are not painted with pigments but expressed solely through the colors of the Washi paper itself. Customers who have purchased our works often say: "Because it's Washi, the colors are very delicate and gentle." "It's a color tone I rarely see elsewhere." "It's very soothing to the eyes and calms the heart." We are delighted that our customers can truly feel the unique characteristics and beauty of Washi. At Mizunoki Studio, we have nearly 150 types of Washi paper. We spend time choosing the perfect color from this vast selection... and the joy when we find the perfect match is immense. We hope to deliver the gentle colors of Washi to you, embedded with that joy. ―――――――――――――――――――――― ◇◆ Notes on Purchase ◆◇ If you have any questions or special requests, please feel free to contact us. 【Notes on Use】 The varnish used has UV protection and water resistance (daily life level), but to maintain quality for a long time, please wipe off immediately if it gets wet.
