1. My 42 ceramic buttons came out of the glaze kiln this morning. Several fellow potters marveled over them and started playing with them. They're VERY tactile. I'm so pleased with how they turned out. (photo attached)
2. My bowl, on the other hand, didn't turn out at all like I had expected. Maybe that's a good thing? (2 photos attached)
3. I'm tired of cooking, so my husband is out hunting for Greek carry out.
@nancylwayne I think it's the unexpectedness which becomes disappointment in not getting what you wanted/expected, that makes it hard to be happy about one's artistic surprises. It's hard to let go the vision that one had for a particular piece, and stop and see what you actually have, and the merits of what exists.
As someone who does Acrylic Pouring, with its unpredictableness, this is a lesson I've had to learn very fast!
