 I almost threw this ugly little disaster vase out when I made it. It was a mess on the wheel, and I gouged out the rim while it was drying. But then I decided to go ahead and glaze and fire it, just to test out more glaze combos, and to work on my fledgling skills with my sprayer. Just for grins, I tried dipping the rim after spraying on a few pots, and this one led me to finding a fun glaze combo to play with. It’s a commercial glaze on the rim called ancient jasper over a new white liner I concocted. It’s still ugly and misshapen, but I love happy accidents like this that lead to new glazing discoveries 

 A bit off in the pedantic random thought category, but it occurred to me recently as we were getting compost and mulch delivered in Asheville how different that is from "getting a bucket of manure" in rural Vermont.  In Asheville, there's a nice website describing all the various types of compost you can order, you place your order, gulp at the 50$ delivery fee, and the nice new shiny cute mulch yard truck delivers: In rural Vermont, it's a lil different. We've been lucky enough to have a local farming friend that would fill up the bucket of his tractor from his manure pile, and drive his tractor over, and plop it right next to the veggie garden: Like I said, a little off in the pedantic random thought category.
