๐๐ฉ๐๐๐ญ๐: It had a good run, but some things simply aren't meant to be fixed, and thatโs perfectly fine. Kintsugi is a beautiful art process, both in practice and philosophy. However, I also believe that what is meant to be will happen... and this particular piece wasnโt destined for repair! Kudos to the talented artists who can master this technique. After my daughter attempted to fix it, I gave it a try as well. I discovered that each piece needed to be repaired and allowed to dry individually to hold together properly. This process takes a couple of days to cure. However, as I assembled more pieces, I noticed the bottom of the plate was becoming uneven due to the settling resin. By the time I reached the edges, the pieces were not fitting together quite as well. I consider myself fairly artsy and enjoy exploring different mediums, but this experience will certainly be added to my list of lessons learned. ๐
I havenโt found the perfect replacement yet, but I remain hopeful that what is truly meant for me will eventually come my way!
