I had already sold this piece when I broke it.

This is what followed.

I replaced the missing pieces like a puzzle with glue first.

Then I fill in the shattered pieces with Paperclay.

Then I sand it all down. Then repaint.

And Wallah, the client couldn't find any flaws.

Broken mirror topper.

Gluing and patching the wing.

Filled and painted.

A badly flaking painting.

First I fill in all missing paint with Gesso.

Then I match the paint and cover all Gessoed areas.

Then I clean and varnish the final piece.
