And in september I'm going to V&A (in my opinion the best museum in London). Blue gloves, 1 dragon and 1 snake. Today I looked closely at a lobster, a work of art. I'll never reach such a level. I liked the dragon the most. It seems to be within my reach in a few years

I have certain, not very pleasant, but rich in experiences, memories related to experts and auction houses. never again

Interesting jizai collection, the best one was the dragon — unfortunately only visible behind glass.

I had the opportunity to look at several exhibits, up close

Chiddingstone castle visit

Hi Colin, Thank you for the link, I think I have all the photos from the Internet: fish, dragons and the skeleton. (some of them very special) I don't touch the insects :). But birds, I have to think about them. All the best.

very good photos because now I have a new direction of searching, 🙏

I definitely have to go to this museum, I have to look at the 🦚 and the 🐉

short update, as i mentioned earlier, i started making shachi. the tail for now, the body is already in the plans. but the head, hmm, i'm a bit afraid of that s6.mp4

my first snake was based on photos of a snake from a british museum. then i went to the museum, and what was my surprise when it turned out how completely different this snake was compared to mine.

Hi Shogun 8 Thank you, for now I try to imitate the old masters, I'm learning. I make utsushi, if that's the right word. I have my own sign and I somehow like the pattern of the scales. I'm currently working on shachi, this time I'm basing it on an existing object, we'll see what I come up with. I'll definitely share some photos. But the next project, I don't know, I'm thinking about a sandworm from Dune. We'll see. I don't know what the Sandworm will look like, definitely not like in the picture :), this is rather a very preliminary idea

next carp, I am quite happy with it.

new snake, very flexible, but already planning some changes, mainly around the head

it's been a while. i've been trying to sort out a legal issue related to the art, it's a jungle. But I found time for new jizai okimono . .

KP, I don't recognise MF it would be nice to turn a hobby into money, and my fish: steel body
