Beeswax and pine resin

Making Mitsuro Wax

Using Beeswax and resin combination to achieve a perfect Mitsuro Wax is tricky. then make the wax works for you is the another level of trickiness. But when you have manage to do it. It’s so satisfying experience.

This is a traditional Japanese lost wax technique called “Mitsuro-Hikime” I love the organic nature of this wax. When you stretch it with your fingers and your state of mind, it results in some unique lines. Because the movement of your fingers and thumbs are so intense, whilst I make Mitsuro wax jewellery, and also the beeswax has to be in a right temperature, I sometime forget to breathe. But the reward from my breathlessness is unbeatable. The lines which appear on the wax are what I felt at that moment and that moment is so important. I like to capture the sense of a movement like where water touches land. The outcome is not planned, so this organic approach makes me appreciate surprises.
