Twice now I've made these funny little sculptures. About 5 or 6 in each pit firing and both times they have broken in the firing process. I even got stronger clay but to no avail. The second firing was worse and these 2 were the only ones that sort of survived. I hate waste. So polished them up and took their photos. The ones from the first firing are still on my desk. My original plan for them fell through not helped by the breakage. The frustration is immense. But what can I do? The process is fickle and I don't have the luxury of a bisque fire in a posh kiln first, not that I think I would want to anyway.I think I'm done with these figures for now.
