I took Mary outside for a photo shoot this afternoon. On the last blog post, she was merely taped together with clear strapping tape. Today the chips are securely into place.
There's a chip and a circular hole in her head from the unceremonious fall she took...
...missing fingers and trim from her robe.....
...and more missing chunks from the robe and base of the statue.
Did that serpent cause "the fall"? He'll be seeing more than just **STARS** when I get through with this figurine!

I realize that you've been doing this for years, but how did you start this avenue of restoration?
Can you actually put missing pieces on the item and make it look whole? That is fantastic! You are very talented. Sandie
I am so fascinated by the process of rehabbing these figures! Keep us posted!

This is such a cool hobby. And I'm sure the owners of the restored pieces are thrilled to have them back to their glory state.
You are doing a remarkable job!
laughing at you. :)
She's going to be just beautiful when you are finished! I can't believe there is a snake at her feet! I hope she killed it! lol Maybe that is why she got broke, from trying to kill it! lol
I hope I get to see the restoration of this project when it is finished. I know you will do another awesome job!
Despite her imperfections, your Mary is beautiful! In fact, I think she's more beautiful because of them:)
