Clay Bloopers

Here are various clay bloopers, most have broken pieces or are warped. I keep trying with the circle and woven baskets but there's lots of loss.





 Had the idea to make a half round piece with a hidden compartment behind.

One side warped outward, next time I'll keep paper tape on it. Still I'm amazed I could make the strips stand up vertical and not separate.

The patches you see on the pot on the left were to block the holes to I could pour glaze on the interior. I got them all patched and poured in the glaze and noticed all the glaze was running all over the table. I had forgotten to patch one hole at the bottom. What a mess it made. I was able to clean it all up and get it reglazed and it's in the kiln right now.

This is a chain reaction of clay circles. I though to make some type of sculpture with that name but this wasn't quite what I had in mind. Now that I've shown you they're headed to the scrap pile. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
