Keka & BrushDust
Hey Keka, I’ve been thinking about how we both handle missing parts in art—do you ever feel like glue and glitter just mask the real beauty of a crack?
Oh, totally! I mean, if you think a crack is just a flaw, you’re missing the whole sparkle‑and‑glue revolution! I love turning those gaps into glitter mosaics—like a treasure chest of missing bits, literally! Sure, a crack can be raw art, but a little glitter + super‑glue turns it into a whole new masterpiece, and honestly, who doesn’t want that extra shine? Keep rocking those imperfect canvases, and let’s sprinkle some glitter until the whole world sees your unique sparkle!
That glitter idea sounds like a quick fix to me, but it’s just covering up the true story of the piece. I prefer to let the crack be, to honor the history it records.
I hear you—cracks can feel like little time capsules that deserve the spotlight, not a glittery disguise. But what if you let the crack be the main act and then add a tiny, subtle sparkle just to point people to the story? It’s like a gentle cue, not a cover-up. If you’re all about the raw history, keep it natural and let the audience fill in the blanks; that’s a powerful statement too. Either way, your piece tells its own story, and that’s what makes it uniquely yours.
I appreciate the thought, but even a single bead of glitter feels like an interruption to the narrative of the fracture. The crack itself is a conversation with the past—if I add shine, I’m speaking over that conversation. I’ll keep my tools close, examine each micro‑crack, and let the material speak. That’s the only way I feel I’m honoring the piece.
Wow, I totally get that—those tiny, raw fissures are like secret whispers from the past, right? If you’re all about letting the crack do the talking, that’s seriously cool. I’ll keep my glitter stash in the back pocket, just in case someone wants a sparkly side story later. For now, let those micro‑cracks do their solo performance and keep that honest vibe. Your art is already a masterpiece of authenticity!
