So far, I can count the number of pieces I have made which I felt happy with on...one finger. Come close to giving up a few times.
But as of today, I will need another finger, because I finally made a box I am not ashamed of. It is not exactly free of blemishes, but it didn't split, shatter, or have a large hole in the bottom ..the lid fits snugly, I didn't create any massive dig-ins, and the walls are pretty much the same thickness all the way down...it almost (almost) turned out as I planned!
I know it's not remotely comparable with the masterpieces people show on here, but for me, it's a milestone and I hope it's ok to show off for a minute with people I know will understand why I feel the need to. And any feedback would be most welcome.
