[Visible mending] - How to smooth the edge of a broken cup handle ?
  • 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!

    Mending a bigger hole on the back of some jeans

    A bit more invisible and at the same time messy than usual, but a fixed hole none the less.

    One of my first shirts from a concert I'm refusing to let die

    Full shirt Closer view of larger fixed area Sashiko fixed bigger holes Already went through multiple phases of fixing, and the backdrop cloth for the bigger holes even started to wash out. This part was fixated through my first try with the shashiko approach.

    Bit older clover and bee fix of a hole in my hoody

    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.

    Fixed hole on pinstriped pants

    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 Detail of fixed hole Snapshot of hole before fixing up
