Alabastrite
Alabastrite is a stone-based polyresin material which can be
intricately molded producing great detail, and will allow paint to
adhere. These items should not be washed with water as they are
painted with water soluble paints. Many garden items are created
with Alabastrite with a sand finish to appear like stone.
Jade Porcelain
Jade porcelain is a made with a finer clay. Usually no glaze or only
a colorless glaze will be applied at the final firing to show off
the very smooth surface and to preserve the translucency. Used for
night lights due to its high degree of translucency.
Stoneware
White clay with fine ground stone. Working with stoneware demands
great expertise. Safe for use in microwaves and conventional ovens.
Patchwork
Unique fabric or paper prints are applied to the surface of
porcelain, dolomite or polyresin items. Twelve layers of lacquer are
added, and the item is hand polished to a high gloss between each
layer.
Hong Tze
To closely emulate a special stone found in China which is known for
its deep red color, these items are created using an alabastrite
polyresin. Hong Tze pieces are highly polished, further bringing out
the intense, deep red color.
Frosted Acrylic
Acrylic items are given the French Lilac process, (used on glass),
to achieve the distinctive frosted look. The drama of frosted glass
without the weight.
Dolomite
A magnesia-rich, sedimentary rock resembling limestone, dolomite is
either gray, pink or white in color.
