Trials and Adjustments

After the first coherent form, rest did not follow.
What came instead was the obsession with testing.I began to shift angles, parameters, glaze combinations.
Each new attempt opened another door — not always toward what I wanted, but always somewhere new.I learned that progress is not a straight line.
It is a path of detours, returns, and revisiting the same detail dozens of times.
At moments it felt like I was moving in circles,
but in truth, the circle was rising into a spiral.With every layer, with every adjustment, clarity grew.
No test was useless.
Even the one that seemed a step backward revealed something about the journey.And every small victory became fuel for the next attempt.
