2022 has been a busy year for our studio with challenges, new creations, but also some difficulties. Join us for a review of the past year between cats, mushrooms and mandrakes, change of raw materials, counterfeits and the opening of a TikTok account…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First creation of the year: the Princess Mononok\u00e9 mask in clay and Kintsugi! (January)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We were contacted by Julien Fontanier for the creation of a very special decorative element: the mask of Princess Mononok\u00e9, as if it were the original which would have been repaired according to the Kintsugi method. The mask is destroyed in the film, and this traditional Japanese method consists of repairing a broken object by highlighting its broken parts to make it more beautiful and symbolize its history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We chose to work with self-hardening clay, a material we had never used before. For the Kintsugi method, Urushi lacquer is traditionally used, which is irritating and requires long drying under very specific conditions. We therefore opted for a more modern method based on pigments and UV resin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The end result was stunning, and I must say we were a little sad to see this mask go to its new owner. What a pleasure that said, to be able to find it in the videos of Julien Fontanier, in the middle of other really very beautiful artisanal creations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are interested in this project: the video and a more detailed article will be published in the coming days. Don’t forget to follow us on our networks so you don’t miss a thing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New original creations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 2021, we decided to take a turn in our activity by developing our own original creations. Little ghosts and dinosaurs had thus appeared in the shop, reflecting our personality and our creative universe a little more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if it is more complicated to have visibility with personal creations than with objects inspired by known licenses, we have chosen to continue with new original creations: an autumnal collection full of mushrooms, a calaveras cat sculpture inspired by the Day of the Dead and little cats to put under the Christmas tree!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mushrooms (October)<\/strong><\/p><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For the month of October, we wanted to bring a little autumnal vibe to our catalog with the creation of mushrooms: Many Amanita, Terry Cantharellus, Holly Horn-of-Plenty & Gary Agaric, each inspired by a well-known variety from our forests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The largest mushrooms, Many and Terry\/Holly, are some of our biggest pieces currently sold in the shop with a weight of almost 1kg each! A very nice harvest, but don’t count on us to reveal the location of our mushroom corner…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
