One of our best-selling items this year has been the Korean dancer glass pendant -- Kat's little works of art. I know we have a soft spot for these pendants because the Chang Mi Korean Dance group has been a big -- make that huge -- part of our families' lives for years.
We had a work day on Sunday, and Kat was in the process of adding the color behind the intricately cut dancer designs. She "dressed" the ladies in lovely traditional colors. This process requires patience and a steady hand. After she cut the initial outside design, she cuts the colored hanji paper just a fraction of a inch larger than the opening in the design and tacks it together with hanji paste (a flour and water concoction). Check out the parade of 20-some dancers she had at the end of the day.
beautiful work!!
