Not Everything Turns Out As Planned



It looks like it is back to square one on this project. Attachments to this piece created some sizable air pockets that I did not pierce with a needle to allow air to escape...so, it didn't, and this is the result. It is quite a mess. Thankfully, it is not a mistake that I make often.

This is my mistake, Guinea...'completely preventable had I not been in a hurry (or having a 'senior' moment).  The pieces have been retired (trashed) and the kiln is all vacuumed out and ready to roll.

from th epastt, it is more likely to be moisture than air which blew the tornado up....or a faster than it liked firing..

Babs, I'm starting to believe that tornados and kilns just don't mix well :)
Thanks for the note!,

Shame! It is such a helpless feeling..... AND knowing it could have been prevented!! Well, we never get too old to learn and to be reminded of things that we already know and practice...... patience, my dear Watson, patience....

SusanL... So true. Even an old dog can repeat silly mistakes (or something like that) :)
