Chilbo (Korean Enameling)

 One of the things I love about my weekly visits to Nan's is never knowing who may walk through the door.  Her shop is on a side street where you find apartments along with shops and restaurants.  There is always someone walking by whether it's a government official or a student.

Sometimes Nan's sister stops in and she is quite the pistol!  She always has a bright smile and now knows how to say, "Hi Becky!" in English.  She lives in a small apartment building right across the street from Nan's shop.

This week, the lady who I helped with the rice cakes stopped by with some treats.  She stayed for quite a while and even helped Nan sand some finished pieces.

 I was busy working on these four plates.  I still have to put the finishing outlining on them and paint the faces which I will do next week.
I also saw these gorgeous pendants and had to buy a few.  She told me she was getting ready for Buddha's birthday which is in a couple of weeks.  Tomorrow I have another foam class and then it's off to Seoul to visit my favorite maedeup shop.
