Koi-failure

Not every plan can work out.

This was a 2nd koi I was making. The last day I was going to work on it, it slid off the board and took a dive.  I may be able to repair it, but I wanted this as a reminder to myself that until a piece is home, safe and packaged, anything can go wrong.

*update
thanks for the words of hope!! I'll have to check if I still have this one laying around the studio, or if I ended up recycling the clay. If I can't find him, I'll make something extra special for you guys!! What would you like to see?
