RE: scotty's stone daily, stones four to six, post two of five
This is hilarious, and at the same time a very noble quest. I laugh because I understand the pain of creative failure after failure. We usually don't brag about this stuff. How many countless times have I dreaded opening up the kiln the next day because I've already established that something disastrous will lurk within? What's really going on here however, is just a pace that accelerates the curve of discovery and learning. Persistence is what you are demonstrating, and inevetably you will strike gold! And those are the moments we bother for. Keep it up!
Thanks, I suppose until recently I would never brag about failure, but when I see how much it upsets people, it just makes me go for it.
Lol
I loved opening up the kilns, to see how much damage my friend Seton had been able to cause with his experiments.
Still, he come up with some lovely surfaces in all that. He invented both the glazes on this work of mine
Ceramics is a failure's dream. I have only my paints that can fail these days.
thanks for coming by and leaving the comment. I really appreciate the human interaction.
Oh that's just great! Yes, I remember this piece you are referring to with the glazes. I don't think you can discover something new and great (like this) without walking the path of trial and error first. I feel for your friend Steton, too! Anyway, we keep experimenting because we can't help it!
wow, I had forgotten showing it to you way back then.
It's the only one that I have already scanned the slide of.
That's the reason why it keeps coming out.
There were six of these.
I think I would have slides of all of them. But I have a lot of slides and scanning slides sux.
thanks again.
