Never give up! At least not when that many hours have been put into a project. I tweaked, used acetone, tweezers and more paint and saved the piece! I was inspired to add more detail to the clay face and hand that made a huge difference in the final product. What a happy accident!
Tomorrow I'll make the gizmo for photographing the piece in outdoor light (thanks for the web site, Debbie) and post pics. My photos never show the detail I'd like, but it's fine for documenting the save!
Time for piece #2.
