That time my attempt at a 'rustic' vase turned into a blob monster
I noticed all these new paint-your-own-pottery places popping up around town (there's like three now, it's a whole thing). So I went to one last week to make a vase for my mom. I was aiming for that cool, handmade look, but my glaze went crazy and dripped everywhere. When it came out of the kiln, it looked like a lumpy potato with ears. My mom still says she loves it, but I catch her using it to hold spare change.

Right? Since when do handmade stuff have to look like it came from a store? My last pottery class mug is so lopsided it can't even sit flat. It looks like a drunk cup. But it holds my pens just fine. I say the weird shapes give them personality.

Okay, so your vase looks like a lumpy potato with ears. Big deal. It still holds stuff, right? Your mom uses it for change, so it has a job. People need to chill about things not being picture perfect. It's handmade, that's the point.
