You can't tell





But my tile came out of the kiln crooked.






I fired it too hot and too long.  It looks all right from this angle so I get to keep it. (Remember, I get to keep all rejects).

My Father never kept pieces that were not perfect.
It was a "ceremony" when he had to destroy one of his carvings.





Now you can see the problem.
The Albarello, to the left, you might think should be considered a reject.  No so.  I deliberately made it look old. 




I could frame the above tile (as I have done here) and no one would ever know that it is crooked. 


Have a great week my dear
Blogging Friends.

I'm still toiling in my garden.
