Fine grain salt baked 45mn- 50mn

I was not thinking when I opened the salt baked piece

It was still v hot and I saw immediately that I had been too hasty and not thinking. It was deformed by my touch. The piece was like a piece of jelly

I quickly left it alone to cool as is.

As a result there is a deformation

But it became v strong

the shape is v nice too

However, the idea is to measure change, so i had not a usable model as I had deformed the original shape
