what's the problem in this picture?

      Surprisingly , it's not the 4- footed animal right next to the delicately balanced Humpback Whale fluke, it's that the whale might be an inch over what will fit into the kiln. I could use a measuring stick to find out ahead of time.  I could...  But I'm a rebel, and rebels don't have time for measuring sticks.  It's kind of like today at the Belle Grae furniture sale/auction.  I saw a bench that would fit on my front porch and the price was right so why not get it that minute?  Possibly because it was actually a double-sided bench, not just one side facing one way , meaning that in no way was it going to go on my porch or anywhere really in my house , as it is currently configured.  Sadly, I didn't notice that the "other" bench the one that I thought was another very similiar bench was actually attached to "my" bench until I'd paid and the guys picked up one very large bench and took it to my house.   Well, it is a great bench and once I get that wall knocked out it will look fantastic.
