    I love the texture and purpose that visible mending gives things. It reminds me of kintsugi-- repairing ceramics with gold. It makes the object feel so much more special and loved. Like that thing has a history and a complex life story.

    Different note: does anyone know if there is a visible mending community already on lemmy?

      If there is, or if there’s not but it gets made, I so want to be a part of it

    This is really cool.

    You’d need a rubbing of the shape or something so you could prep the tiles elsewhere right?

    You couldn’t just roll up with the tile cutter.

        That reminds me of the Toynbee Tiles. I think the pothole mosaics are beautiful - any art is better than plain concrete and asphalt. I really like looking for new graffiti in my city on my walks, and my SO and I used to trade photos of a local tagger’s drawing whenever we saw them - especially if we were far from their usual territory.

    Beautiful - but does it last? The holes and cracks are likely due to localized wear, meaning the mosaic would need to have at least the same wear resistance as the surrounding material.
