A sliver led to an impromptu nontextual matter project , a object lesson on the wholeness of ceramics , and a ruin mug . I guarantee you ’ll need to wrack at least one dish this way .
Teresa Nielsen Hayden of Tor Books andMaking Lightgot one of those cruddy sliver that flummox under a nail . Rather than take the rational course and disregard it until it immix with her body , she decide to cover the injury . She started by satiate a stoneware fall guy with hot water , tally saltiness , and soak her digit . After the soak she bury the mug full of table salt water , and that was her fatal mistake . When she next saw the mark , about a week later , she describes the effect of the salt :
“ Salt body of water had seeped through cracks in the glaze and into the Lucius DuBignon Clay body of the gull . As it dried , the salt was squeeze out through every crack , in sheets and curls and whiskers . Where the glaze crackling was crosshatched , it formed connection of exposed - topped corner . ”
Okay , sure , I would n’t desire to lose my pet mug that way , but that sound incredibly cool . We all have a couple of “ I ( Heart ) Toronto ” fool in our cupboards that we got as presents , do n’t use , but do n’t have the tenderness to blast . Anyone else want to sacrifice them in the name of art and/or science ? All it takes is salinity , piss , and neglect .
