Just go with it!

I find that most of the time I spend when making something new is made with an idea in mind. From that point I just start feeling it out and it typically turns out. Well this last week I have been working on another vase since the first one ended up on the floor of the local high school (that was just a sad day so we wont go into it). So I started on this new vase and I figured that I would see if I could make it better... I had no idea how though so I just started and it was turning out quite nice but it was still nothing more then what I had already created. And then the pieces of the vase started to break out and I was deviated. I put just a little too much pressure on once fragile piece and crack....
I sat there and hoped that I would be able to glue it back in after it was fired but decided then and there that if I was going to make it then it had to be right.
So I got bold and started to just go with what had just happened. I took what I had and I pushed the limit of what I have done.
In the end it turned out like this.




Kinda fun Huh?
I am excited to get it all glazed and we will see how it turns out after I put a few more little tricks I have into place but in the end it should turn out as something quite unexpected.
Guess thats just a part of my style. 
Go in with an idea and come out with something completely unexpected.
Just goin' with it!
