LookBio tells stories that help find themselves and make the world better. In this material you will get acquainted with a resident of St. Petersburg, a scientist, a lovers of porcelain and jewelry of Diana Kikanadze. She found a way to make the decorations and interior items from the bat, which now turned into a business called "Refarform".
Georgia, languages \u200b\u200band prose of life
I was born and grew up in Georgia, in Tbilisi. He arrived in St. Petersburg to continue their studies in graduate school. I am an orientalist, Japan, Language teacher.
The dissertation was given to me very difficult, I worked a lot, wrote at night, worried, tired. At some point I acutely felt the need to find a new occupation to switch, unload the head. Washing dishes or some kind of work in the economy no longer saved, as before. It was necessary for something polar other, severe and complex.
How was the idea found?
Mosaic of broken porcelain dishes - I hooked me this idea that I accidentally saw on the American website Etsy.com. I love porcelain, collecting it, studying the history of the production of different plants, is a passion from mom.
Of course, I came across that my favorite dishes comes in disrepair and the path to her, as I used to seem before, only in the garbage basket, I was upset. Therefore, the idea of \u200b\u200bworking with broken dishes extremely fascinated me, I understood how you can inhale the second breath in the fragments.
I have never been a needlewoman, and with the thought of working with porcelain, I was lost, even not imagining what to cut it, to process.
At home I found a number of cracked, broken dishes. Helped friends and acquaintances, providing me with more material. All surprised my sudden interest in useless, it would seem, fragments and shards, but I was happy and scored a good collection of a variety of plates and cups.
Roseta can be killed
The period of experiments began. I was inspired by the works of Western masters and laid out the panel, frames, keystones, flower pots, everything that can be covered with mosaic. Of course, I did not have any necessary toolkit. I beat the dishes with a hammer. Fart, for example, on a beautiful rose, I killed her, because the center of gravity fell on it, she all crumbled. I did not consist in any needlework communities and somehow I did not occur to study, whether the masters that work in a similar direction will consult with them.
By chance, I saw a group dedicated to mosaic. Having studied her, I realized that there is a special inventory. Tongs that can be carefully cutting a glass mosaic. And what if not glass, but, for example, porcelain? - I thought. Consulted, I got a cherished tool that I use it to this day. It became possible to gently cut, keep the drawing, to achieve more small details And this directly reflected on quality.
I did not have teachers, but I bought the book "Mosaic with my own hands", American authorship, which answered many of my questions, showed existing techniques, techniques and methods. Of course, I very often bought something wrong, was mistaken with glue, grouts, but gradually I mastered all this vocabulary, I loved the construction hypermarkets.
First sales and new idea
Two years old I was engaged in mosaic, gave exclusively familiar, friends. We gradually appeared orders and I dared to come to the thoughts that my work can be sold.
At the same time, I did not leave the idea of \u200b\u200bmaking decorations. Sometimes there were such beautiful fragments that they literally asked for a brook, earrings!
The idea of \u200b\u200bmaking decorations from fragments of dishes is not mine at all. She originated in the 18th century, in Europe. The Chinese kept the secret of porcelain secretly, exported their products to Europe for huge amounts. Sets and vases floated to Europe on the ships, broke in the way and since they were worth a lot of money, they were sold later even in a bit of form. Jewelers framed silver and gold beautiful fragments and ladies subsequently wore brooches and rings.
"Tiffany" without breakfast
My scientific leader made me a wonderful gift, giving a lesson to choose from. I became interested in a stained glass master class. Having visited this occupation, I met the technique of Tiffany and realized that this was exactly what I need. It will help me make jewelry!
I began to try, study the materials, again, it was brutally mistaken with the choice of ribbons, a soldering iron, there were rare, fragmented explanations or I may not know how to seek, I didn't know how and where.
The process was extremely slow due to the lack of special machines. Grinding the edge, for example, I made a diamond little supfil, which looks like a nail file. All this was done in the water, the fingers hurt, the skin is wrinkled, the productivity is low, seam in the end is not very smooth, soldering, respectively, too. Now, admit when I look at my first products, I am ashamed. Some I converted.
Materials I also did not know where to buy, many chose it piecewise, retail that it was worth much more.
Too cheap?!
Having accumulated a certain number of works I dared to go to my first designer market. It was a success! Opened most Collections! I remember one buyer who typing the whole palm of jewelry, scolded me that I sell too cheaply that such work should cost much more. From now on, I realized that the hobby is developing a full-fledged matter. I saw that my work I like people and believed in myself.
This business was when I made serious investments in the technique for my craft. A car was acquired for cutting a porcelain, which made it possible to create impossible, subtle forms. A grinding machine appeared, which freed the mass of time and saved my hands. The desired quality appeared, beautiful soldering, in parallel I found a new, good fitness. I equipped myself a workshop, filled the store pages in social networks and specialized sites for hand-made products.
What I think about it
My work can be fully called environmental. First, the vintage material is used. Secondly, this is a real second life in a new reading for an old saucer from the service of your grandmother. This is the memory of the steady epochs - colors, ornaments, favorite stamps.
Perhaps I will be discharged for the development of jewelry. Now I began to use natural pearls, corals, vintage porcelain buttons from Czechoslovakia in his works. I want my work to be not just cute, but conceptual, designer, unique.
My buyer is a woman in 40 years. She took place in this life, it certainly has higher educationMaybe your business can some kind of interesting, useful work. It holds his leisure in museums, trips, she has a good taste. She is solely by the author's jewelry, looking for her in small authentic shops.
If a young girl, then she is a frequenter of design markets, where you can find the original thing.
I meet on the streets of the city of people in my jewelry. It is very nice.
A row of orders flies into distant countries, sometimes very exotic, for example, in the city of Albuquerque; State Trinidad and Tobago.
For lovers to beat the dishes.
How much do we beat dishes for your life? Of course, no one thought. More at home is always on the shelves there are several cups without a handle or with a sloping edge. Throw the hand does not rise. For those who are not afraid of work and loves to decorate their own dwelling, you can find a second life with such cups, using a broken dish, as a mosaic.
Of course, it's like in the old songs from your favorite cartoon childhood: "If you take one brick - I have little sense in it, if you don't build a couple of bricks," so with us, from one cup it will not be buried, therefore it is worth the material, to revise " Deposits »Dishes. There may be a pair of a three meal or plates that remained in proud loneliness and are no longer used. You can ask and relatives from relatives, each in the house there is at least one cup with a fragible edge.
So the material has collected. Now we will break. Break - not to build, but here you need to act with the mind and definite caution. Put a cup of plate into a dense fabric. And now you can, carefully hovering with a hammer, split into pieces. If you need to get more smooth forms or cut a picture, then use glass cutter.
When the cups are beaten, you can sort color and magnitude. The surface on which we will glue a mosaic, degrease, and pieces of mosaic too. Sit them on PVA, on liquid nails. You can lay them on a concrete solution. After the pieces of mosaic are securely attached, then the seams wear a special grout for a tile, the surface is wiping with a damp, and then a dry cloth.
There is a photo different exampleswhich can inspire creative "feats."
Well, who will like to lay out and decorate the surfaces with fragments, and their reserves are exhausted, then to continue you can buy a ready-made mosaic. It can be like ceramic, marble mosaic looks spectacularly. It can be separated the walls in the bathroom, toilet, the surface of the window sill, the wall above the working surface of the table. Mosaic out natural stone It is harder to lay out the pattern, then you need to take more contrasting shades, but the surface laid without a special selection looks more uniform, calm color.
Bought cups and plates in last year turned into valuable value for me. At first, I just had a pity to throw one of my favorite cups, which just fell off the handle. And I, as a classic "scoped dress", shook it))
Then there was another cup, and also, and more ... But now I did not throw them out of principle. Because I decided to do on new Dacha kitchen apron From a bat of dishes. By December, I have already accumulated enough for the month of this year.
It turned out that:
And now I did.
Plasterboard was chosen as the basis. Exclusively from pragmatic considerations. First, it is easier to drink (no feeder, dust and subsequent general cleaning). And secondly, it is relatively lightweight, that a lot is important, because the final work is greatly weighted with materials, and if the basis is heavy, again the naughty of tranquility, while I will be dragged and fixed.
IMPORTANT:plasterboard choose moisture resistant! The kitchen apron is a wet kitchen element. Especially if this kitchen, like me, on the unheated in the winter dacha.
The leaf, unfortunately, had to take the smallest of those we had in the "Lerua": 150 cm. By 60 cm., Although I needed 65 cm. But I was easier to take home on the sedan two little sheets to then glue them than one large.
Memore specifications. We cut directly on the surface by the usual building knife.
Then we turn the leaf into the cut out, and on the other side, I'm a fist, or as I knee)) the leaf is broken by Rovenko, as if it was)
Further I had to customize a sheet under the required width of 65 cm. To do this, cut off the same strip of the required width from the second sheet. Applying, glued it impregnated in PVA Serpianka ( construction grid) On both sides. Leave a glued leaf to dry overnight.
Prepared and circumcised under necessary size (I have it 110 cm. By 65 cm.) For better adhesion, I first impregnated with the primer, and then covered with a concrete contact. I left again to dry overnight.
In order to be then less problems With fasteners, even before the beginning of the creative part of the work, drilled holes in the gypok. Plasterboard is very pliable, and you can drill a simple screwdriver.
Dumplings drill at equal intervals.
And then, then, during work, do not shock them by accidentally glue or grout, you can insert beacons in them. For example, I stuck screws. The main thing later does not step on them with the heel :)
First glue the main elements. I have them and practical, and aesthetic.
Practical it:
- Mugs (without a handle), in which I can then fold spoons and forks;
- Rubbed handles glued horizontally: on them, with the help of hooks, I will hang towels and spoons-cooks;
- Almost in half a broken peer, which I can also use as a small storage place (matches, for example).

And aesthetic is, for example, found by me in a box with porcelain tomators and garlic, which I "put on the dish" similar color Gamma.…
***

... And a vase from the thinnest Chinese porcelain (a corner of the bottom), a neat stand under hot olive style (cracked), and in the same style performed by the parenchteen (a tiny piece was fighting from above).
After the basic elements are glued, we begin to fill out the resulting free space. There is a pallet of fantasy! Pieces of multicolored dishes can be completely mixed and glued in chaotic order; And can be clusters, picking them in color and texture.
I chose a second option.
A few words about the very coherent processing dishes. The case is dangerous: the fragments really scatter fountain. And if the work is not carried out in the workshop, but in the usual residential room, the case may end not only in the foot, but also the "diagnosis of Kaya" - a fragment of the eye.
Therefore - IMPORTANT! - Beat the dishes, covering it with a cloth! I, before knocking in the cup with a hammer, wrapped them in the old sony shirt.
Further comments are superfluous - everything is clear by photos:

After all the shards are glued and glue drying, you need to smell the seams (everything is exactly the same as when laying ordinary tile). I also have a dawn from the hooks left from repair, so I don't write anything about the optimal choice - I used the one that was:
Grouting goes really a lot! More than on tiled masonry, because Actually, the seams themselves are more. And you have to work small sites and painstakingly. Therefore, I raged the grouts very little.
Disgrace, but at home there was not a single rubber spatula to work with the grout. Gol on the fiction of the cunning, and instead, I used a piece from a plastic cover from the factory food container from the salad "Chuki" :)
I drag all the seams, straight off the remnants from the trek's surface. If the grout dries - then you will not take it out!
Well, that's all - apron is ready:
