Ready to fire
In the kiln.
Done firing.
I thought it was going to be fine, but unfortunately, there must have been some moisture trapped in the layers during the initial firing. Long after they had cooled I found the top two pieces snapped in half.
I even tried to fire it again, but this time it snapped in another spot. You just never know...I was disappointed, because I liked the look of this one. it was tough to give up on it, but I finally had to admit defeat.
Oh man - isn't there some way to still use those? I actually really like the curves....could you buff them down so they wouldn't be sharp and keep moving forward with the piece?
ReplyDeleteI love them! I always like to challenge a mistake into a masterpiece!
ReplyDeleteI see some other "element"...maybe even representing the water that caused the crack...or a place for some random leaves or sticks....
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas! Now to go dig it out of the trash : ) I Think I threw it out in a fit of frustration a couple days ago.
