Visible mending

ubermeisters, in [Visible mending] - How to smooth the edge of a broken cup handle ?

Disposable nail file and a couple minutes of elbow grease.

Or the course unfinished ceramic edge on the bottom of another ceramicware.

You can definitely sand it down, depending how far off the surface it broke that might take quite a while as ceramic is a really tough material. Then again that should take off the anxiety to destroy anything in that regard. With enough care even a grinder can be used to aid you in this process.
Depending on the desired visibility of the repair you can then paint over with good quality acrylic paint matchinf colours or going the extra mile to take your chances to append on the original design of the cup with some fun little motive, extending the personal story and connection to the piece in the philosophy of kirigami.
However you might decide to do this, I would be very happy and interested to see your results here on the magazine in a follow up post. Wish you all the best with your project.

Thanks for showing me this community, I had no idea visible mending group on Lemmy. Great work too

Xorbius,

Sure thing buddy. I hope to grow this community further and will try to get back into more regular posting of my mending journey.
The next few ones will probably be more practical fixing and not that much decorative, but soon I will get back to this, too!

Is posting open to all? I have a bunch of sashiko/boro projects going right now

Xorbius,

Of course, go ahead! I would love to get this community more active and diverse, as I myself do mostly (swiss) darning and a bit of stitching.

That’s really cute. I mostly did flowers before, but now I have a new inspiration.
