Playing with Glass Again!

two blue mason jars, one in mold and the other on the shelf
 I had to stop the kiln before it was finished as there was a nasty storm that came through & I figured since there were tornado sirens going off in the distance, it would be better to shut down and go in the house instead of being in the loft of the barn! : ) Luckily there was no damage in our area and it didn't seem to affect the jars - although I did redo the one that was in the mold because it hadn't slumped as much as I wanted it to.

This is the one that was just on the shelf



one of the mason jars from yesterday and a blue wine bottle, kinda hard to tell it is blue right now!
Cooling down so colors are coming through
still cooling
