Moving Beyond the Ordinary.
Upon discovering the superior quality of Fortuna Pearl, we intuitively knew: we couldn't confine this material's potential to conventional techniques.
After relentless experimentation, an accidental spark—the idea of rhombus lattice weaving—changed everything. This innovation could no longer be contained by routine methods. Our continuous pursuit of new expression led to the inevitable establishment of a unique technique that redefines the concept of PP band crafting.
This technique is the culmination of the evolution we named Fortuna. We call this groundbreaking new style "Fortuna Weaving," or simply "Foru-ami."
Foru-ami techniques:
We currently offer two core techniques that define the Foru-ami style:
Future Development
The introduction of new techniques is driven by our commitment to quality refinement and expressive depth. Therefore, we cannot currently commit to a specific timeline or content for future additions. While we are always exploring new possibilities, we appreciate your patience as we take the necessary time to meet your expectations.
Our Techniques Are Offered Completely Free of Charge
As the sole originators of this unique technique, we considered offering it as a paid service to reflect its value. However, we have deep faith in the integrity of the crafting community and wish to prevent any disadvantage for those genuinely seeking to learn.
Therefore, we have decided to make our entire technique freely available so that everyone can easily experience the joy of creation.
If you are inspired by the Store.Alaudae.JP technique and wish to learn more or apply it to your own work, we warmly encourage you to support our mission by purchasing materials or finished goods from the Handicrafts Store☆ALAUDAE.
