life's blahs.

[thewench]

Life is full of Blah's lately. Just when you think you have something good going, it falls flat like a blob of clay your trying to throw into a bowl. You start by centering the mound of clay, and this takes a long time if your not that good, then you have to make the form. If you press in too deep, your bowl won't have a stable enough foot, and if you press in not enough, your bowl is too shallow. So how do you find the balance? I don't know. So far my bowls either are A: Too shallow, B: Can't get past the centering process or C: It gets all wonky. Now wonky in itself isnt too bad. You can take what was otherwise going to be trash and make somehting differently beautiful out of it. You can't do too many of those however, because it just show's you dont know what your doing. Of course it also shows repitition and that wonky defferent beautiful piece is just one in a dozen. It's not special anymore. You also get cut and bleed on all the important parts of your hands. THen those tiny cuts and scrapes (which feel like a rug-burn on your hand) hinder your throwing, so you get frustrated. You just want to give up...

Stupid bowls... :D so fun!
