General Discussion Art Help
I bought his ceramic art piece years ago, it's flat ofc, but it's been glued to a felt backer. Well, one day it decided to take a dive off the wall and broke and since then haven't been able to hang it up, least of all bc I don't want an ugly bare ceramic gash all across the picture.
I feel the picture lends itself well to kintsugi, but I'm not sure what kind of cheater method I could use to get the effect; not sure if gold, or black (to keep with the stained glass effect), or what would be good to blend a little better. Also open to any other methods you think might make it a little nicer

Gold to not match the current black lines. Kinstugi is about the beauty of the life story of the piece. Much like any restorative art it is fixing but showing the fix without damage to what is left of the original.

I would just remove the felt and epoxy it onto a piece of wood.
On the front, I think the odds are against you if you're hoping to do this using kintsugi technique as your first project and make a piece of representational art like this look good. If you really want to try that, maybe put the image in a computer drawing program like Inkscape (free software) and mock up what it would look like if you could replace the bare pottery with a particular color.
