"Mom, it's just a terribly messed up cup I made the first year of clay class, a mistake.""I think it's neat. How did you get the glaze to crack that way?"
"It cracked because it wasn't good glaze. It didn't work."
"Could you find that glaze again, because I like the way the face peeps out."
"No. I don't even know what kind it is; someone had mixed it and left it and it was ruined. That's why it didn't work."
"It looks a little like wood. How did you do that?"
"I had to stain it, and it wouldn't take an even stain. You can't even drink out of it. It's toxic."
"Well. I like it. It has personality. It will also remind you of the first year of clay class."
"I know."
I think it's fun, and unique. It's a reminder that all of us are pieces of clay in God's hands, and none of us are perfect, but yet beautiful in His sight.
ReplyDeleteTell your "art student" that I love it!!
It must have been destiny.
ReplyDeleteI like it. It looks like it was purposely done, like the little face is peeking out from under the glaze.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, that really is a wonderful mug (that you can't drink out of)!
