Handmade Items

On a teacher learning excursion to help us understand American Indians, one activity we did was to make a clay pinch pot.  It wasn't easy and I was proud of how mine developed.  If I want to fire it for use, however, I'd need a kiln or an ongoing campfire.  It's nice, but impractical at this time:  just sitting around. 

Even though I worked hard on it, it's not anything I need for home or my work, so it's being thrown away. 

If you have something you've been loath to part with because you made it by hand, but it's not in style or is not as precious anymore, get rid of it.  Times change and you will create other worthy items again.
