Reparar objetos rotos es una buena forma de mantenerlos por bastante tiempo sin necesitar comprar uno nuevo. Japón es célebre en particular por ello, con una técnica para reparar tazones rotos que se conoce como kintsugi. Se vierte oro en las grietas y las esquirlas, creando un distintivo bonito a partir del desgaste o la quebrantadura que sufre el objeto.

Extract from a huffpost.com –
“This new phase of life required a different mindset. Now that everything had blown up and I was on a new path ― whether I wanted to be or not ― I wondered, what if I treated aging as an adventure, like traveling to a new land? Who knew which way I’d go or what I’d discover? Imagine how glittery I’d be if I filled in my cracks like the Japanese tradition of kintsugi, patching broken pottery with gold and silver. Imagine if instead of averting my eyes, I looked at my future ― however different it was now going to be ― with awe.”

Comentário: meu último reparo foi de uma tigela de cerâmica trazida de Sorrento (Itália). No transporte para casa, a tigela quebrou em pequenos pedaços. A técnica utilizada foi usar a cola super-bonder (única técnica que eu conheço!)

Reply in Italian:
Mi piace tanto riparare la bigiotteria. Una volta riparai una mia catenina lunga agganciando gli anelli con un piccolo orecchino a cerchio che avevo trovato. CI legai un nastrino rosso e ci misi anche un fiore di seta. Mi sembrava veramente molto elegante.
English translation of the reply:
I quite like to repair broken fashion jewellery. Once I repaired a long chain necklace by joining the links with a small hoop earring I had found. I also embellished it with a red ribbon and a silk flower. It looked rather stylish.
