Glazed the hearts red, then waxed them, then dipped the whole thing in the vat of Matt Black glaze.
Off to the kiln, and after doing cone 6, I was pretty ok with it. One side is alright.
But the other side is missing the black glaze on a long streak. Either waxed by mistake (which I should have seen when I dipped it and cleared the black off the hearts) or the black dry glaze was scraped off while sitting on the shelf or being loaded. It's not anything I really have any control over. But I do like somethings about this...seeing how the carving helps the black glaze break...kind of interesting.
No I no longer get upset when my pottery isn't perfect. I may strive to do the best I can, but I long ago learned it's out of my hands at a certain point.
