*poof*gone

Today I had to deal with one of the most frustrating and enlightening aspects of making pottery, the unforeseen catastrophe. A beautiful little coffee pot had its bottom blow out in the bisque. I don't remember that exact thing ever happening before, but it was a big, sad, surprise. I'm assuming it was an air bubble that I didn't catch, but wow, what a lot of work *poof* gone. I guess, based on my level of dismay when I found it, that I must really like what I'm making right now. Which, if you look at it from another perspective, is actually pretty cool. I'll probably still glaze the piece just for kicks....
