Just make a habit of shedding those tears on the way to the bank, you
will cry less.

Subject: Re: The Blue Problem (HELP!)
I made MIB blue by accident and before I could stop myself I started
selling it and now a certain group comes back for more and more. I am
torn between making dignified glazes and selling lots of hideous blue
pots. I get the impression that if I stop I may be in danger from that
said group.
What am I to do? Will the tears I cry when I am using the glaze
eventually change it if I let them fall into the bucket? Perhaps I can
summon the courage to throw the glaze out (in an environmentally correct
way of course) along with my "artists statement" from my M.F.A.

It sounds like I better come to the Clayart Room next year for an
intervention.

Maybe you could gradually transmogrify it without them noticing. Put just
a little more iron into each successive batch and eventually you will have
a nice dignified dark brown. Maybe the customers won't notice (along the
lines of the frog in the gradually heating pot of water who is boiled
before he catches on).
