Frustrated with dry construction box

Yesterday in class we started our dry construction box. First I noticed that I made one of the 6 walls the wrong pattern. The pattern I used was a dot pattern and 5 were inies and the last, the 6th was an outy. I decided it would be fine. The pattern is so small no one would notice. Then I noticed the slabs were not straight and they need to be to go together and be square. You can't have wobbly walls. I brought my 6 "walls" home and moistened them and laid a book on top to flatten, but I also had them on tissue paper. They stuck to the paper. Oy, frustration. 2 were fine and the rest... Well I'm going to make my box a little wider so I need to redo the front, back and the top and bottom. This just gave me the excuse to go for it and just do it.

Dry clay slab for box.

The idea is to have each project done by the following class and be ready to start the next project. But if that doesn't happen, it's ok, we can bring her the finished piece whenever and she'll fire it for us. If it takes us past the last class, we can just drop off at her house. So here I am at 8:30 on a work night, about to start working on this dry construction box. Keep your fingers crossed it goes well and I don't crumble up another bit of clay and start over again.

You can see the tissue paper still on the clay. It will burn off in the kiln so it should be ok.
