tonight was supposed to be a cute and fun little project. i planned to mend this cat toy, which has a rubber handle that you use to fling it across the room - to the delight and rapt attention of the kitten types.i'm sad to say it's my first mending fail. but, instead of moving on to another project and pretending that it didn't happen, i thought i would just post the results.
i had this clever idea - to stuff the rubber handle back in using a chopstick and then secure it with my trusty nail polish - one of the hardest diy femme glues around! but, unfortunately, the rubber didn't like the nail polish very much. it disintegrated at the attachment points on both sides.
maybe i'm in a really contemplative mood, but it made me think about toxic bonds...how some things - or people - combine in such a way that irreversible damage occurs and can't be repaired. in the end, the damage must simply be acknowledged and abided until the damage is less acute or, perhaps, more integrated.so, there you go: from cat toy to contemplation in record time :)
