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.
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!
Pretty nice work, reminded me of the sashiko section of one heavily mended shirts. Just posted if you wann have a look :)
Thank you for engaging here in this magazine. I'm super excited about the first contribution here apart from my works! Hope to see more from you, happy mending!
To keep this magazine active just showing off older work of mine. This was one of my first fixes and I still like it a lot and it's holding up really well.
I started using logseq recently. I’d love to exchange ideas with other users on lemmy/kbin/fedi but I couldn’t find (ikr, fedi) a dedicated group so far. This is the closest. I’ll ask on reddit (the irony!) but I thought I’d shoot a note here too (although I didn’t see any mention of logseq so far)...
Although on some of those magazine the federating of posts doesn't seem to work as it looks empty on here but there are posts on the respective instance
Not too visible but in the spirit of mending. Went for a metallic silver thread for some extra shine for some visibility in comparison to plain white stripes on pants...
New Mods Please
Like seriously, where are the current ones at? There's too much trash and clutter posts here.

Comment with your favorite stone, and I'll show you a piece of rough.
Let’s see how much a variety of rough I have…
Any logseq sub in the fediverse?
