I tried to correct my mistakes by using one of my half round files and sanding the edges, but it's still not quite perfect. Maybe I should embrace the idea of Wabi Sabi and be happy w/ what I've accomplished? Hmm, maybe that's a better idea, lol.
Still obsessed w/ this style- is it too odd? I hope not since I'm compelled to keep doing it. It's starting to feel like a stylized type of architectural line drawings..only w/ numbers and other symbols worked in.Now the main thing I'm worried about is trying out shelf firing a la Angela Crispin and Catherine Davies Paetz on the hollow forms- has anyone done hollow forms successfully this way?

Aja, I think they are wonderful just as they are! Don't completely remove the marks of the maker.
I love these, they're charming the way they are. I can't wait to see how they will turn out finished.
Aja - these look so similar to the type of drawings given to my husband as his own personal symbols by his spirit guides. I am mesmerized by your pieces! Don't change them! One of my favorite sayings is "Embrace Imperfection". Your pieces are perfect in their imperfection. Blessings to you!
P.S. I removed my first post because apparently I can't spell well today!
You definitely need to learn to love them as much as I do! I want one baaaad. And now that I see that they're hollow, I'm not sure about the open shelf firing. I'm afraid they'll slump if they're not fired vertically. Let us know what happens in the fire.
