Between the puzzle, visible mending and sunfish, you are definitely my kind of people.
Definitely an idea I'll be doing even though I don't glue most of my puzzles.

One of my professors used to use a missing puzzle piece as a metaphor for grief as a "hole in the soul". There's a missing piece, after you've lost someone or something (it doesn't have to be a person, it could be a lost opportunity or a lost dream), but no matter how hard you try, you can never quite replace it.
He would love this so much. You've made it into art!

Ooh cool idea! If you're arty, you could paint the replacement details in the puzzle piece. I have glued many kids puzzle pieces back together in the last few years
