Coincidence?

[Rebecca]

I would glue the star back together and solder the tips.

I am surprised you would suggest such a thing!  I need to work on your repair training.  Come on down and I will work on your lead training, too.

I would come in a heartbeat if I could. And maybe I need to look at that seriously, but ................. how is she going to replace the sandblasted peices and match them in grit. The cracks are so close to the edge, you would not glue them? What then? .............. do you know how to contact the Cracked Fairies?

I got a pic of my crackhead dragonfly somewhere, never gave the faeries a thought, figured it was Murphy at work.

Relax, ladies!   Fortunately my freind does'nt want the stars repaired.   I'm just going to cut guardian angel wings from them.   I'm big into recycling - especially glass!   Hopefully this will keep the faeries AND the angels happy!   Double whammy!!!!

Recyle, Reuse, that's my motto too, and you'd believe it if you could see all of the itty bitty pieces of glass, tiny bits of wire and all else I have in this shop. But it's a good thing and you'd be surprised (or maybe not) how many times I've used some of the "saved" items.

Good for you Elizabeth!  De

Not one bit surprised, De!   I still use odds & sods and tools from my cake decorating days -almost a decade ago.   Apart from the diluted 'Scottish blood' and being a natural squirrel - my daughter makes  useable/saleable items from trash for a living,  which has given me a whole new take on 'trash'!
Just can't win in the neat & tidy house dept, tho'!!

[PiscesGlass]

tee, hee, I too am of the Irish/Scottish and grew up with a mother that lived during the end days of the great depression..ugh, talk about learning from a pro how to 'hang onto' stuff.  In my next life I'm going to learn how to toss more out.

Nope the neat and tidy house thing is on occasion stretching it very far! LOL.

Great minds!  De

If there's more of the sand blasted glass, just replace the pieces. If there's no more sand-blasted glass, place the star carefully into the trash bin. and make another of different glass. This is hardly worth a repair, and certainly not a complicated one. No disrespect intended, but this is hardly a tiffany treasure.

Oh, and why did it break that way? It landed  points-first on a hard surface.
