You can’t have any successes unless you can accept failure. ~George Cukor

Just when I thought things were going well,I have been sculpting for many years, and still occasionally have a failure of a piece or two, nothing quite prepares you for opening the kiln and seeing this.
Sometimes things just go wrong. I think that the computer on my kiln reverted to the last program I used, which was a quick, fast gold firing, instead of the very slow bisque firing I usually do. I expected the kiln to fire around 100 degrees in an hour, I returned to check on it in and hour and a half and it was over 700 degrees, with this result. Some pieces miraculously survived. I lost a few days of work in this small disaster.

Life goes on. After all tomorrow is another day….

I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work. ~Thomas Edison
