Brooch repair

An unfortunate accident led to this lovely wooden brooch getting damaged. Even worse, the piece that snapped off was lost.

We spent some time getting an accurate colour match for this project. Last time we tried to colour match Plastimake we got lucky - the green wheelie bin repair was perfect the first time! This job required a little more experimentation to find the right ratio of Crimson Red and Cobalt Blue. We used Copic brand alcohol-based inks, you can see some of the spare swatches in the photo below.

A tiny dab of hot glue is all it took to fasten the new Plastimake piece to the brooch. Voila!
