Reconstructing Lamb

 Someone broke a lamb figurine that my mom brought us from Israel. So I thought I’d try my hand at putting it back together.  
Ceramic figurines that have broken into relatively large sized pieces are pretty easy to reconstruct. I start by looking for pieces that obviously go together and glue them to make larger pieces.

 
I had to remove his fabric fleece to glue him back together so the next step was re-gluing the fleece to the ceramic.

  
The cracks on his face we’re pretty obvious so I decided to go ahead and try to paint them to match.

   
 
As you can see I had to improvise the section that was smashed to bits in the fall. But I still think he came out cute. What do you think?
