I don't know if anyone remembers, but when I first found out my therapist was leaving, I came up with the idea of making a kintsugi heart as a present for him. It's not intended as a romantic thing and I hope he doesn't take it that way!

I've had the supplies I needed to make it for quite a while, and I decided recently to go ahead and make it. Earlier this week was the 5th anniversary of when I started therapy with him and I decided I wanted to give it to him now instead of waiting until he's leaving. I was kind of scared to break the heart actually because I had a hard time finding one I liked on Etsy and when I did find one, they only had one and no longer had the mold. Over the last couple of days, I broke it, glued it back together and painted the seams. In that sense, it's more of a faux kintsugi I guess. I forgot to take photos when it was broken, but you'll have to trust me that it was. I also got some lovely fabric so I could wrap it up Japanese-style (furoshiki).

I really hope this isn't dumb and that he'll find it meaningful.
