Springs Anew_Broken but beautiful





When you chip or crack a lovely cup or saucer its a crying shame. 
You reluctantly throw the object away or you hold onto it hoping it will fix itself somehow. 
Well our deepest little wish of still being able to have this lovely thing in our lives has come true because of a generous, 
and delicate person by the name of Raphael, who takes what some people might see as junk or old tat and transforms it into beautiful pieces. 
He glues and stacks and crafts the discarded ceramics and porcelain, gluing little gold feathers on the backs of the brooches, 
edging the broken bits with delicate, mock gold trims.

Loving the process, loving the end result. From broken to beautiful.
