A plate & bowl!

First bowl!

The color really changed after firing! I like this better than the light pink in the beginning!

First "wavy" plate!

I Love this mold!! Next time I am using a blue glass.

Plate & Bowls

Whoo Hoo! I did my first bowls and plate! Won't know for sure until I check them out after the cool down (tomorrow) but the last time I looked, they looked great!!

Loaded and ready to fire

At high temp (1240), venting down. Can't wait to see them tomorrow when they are cool!

Playing with glass - literally!

 Playing around with circles cut from both large and small Perrier bottles, the clear one is from a coffee syrup bottle and the orange glass is Uroboros pieces.

At high temp - 1485

All cooled down!

Some of the pieces slumped or fell more than I thought they would, but hey it was an experiment/learning exercise!

bottle slivers fused together, almost all of the fused, just a few on the outside came loose - might fire again

another view

I love this glass with light behind it!!

Experimenting/Playing with Glass!

Crown Royal bottle and misc. circles cut from other bottles

At high temp!

Finally got to use the kiln!!

Two blue bottles - I love this color!

Can't tell they are blue now! At about 1400

All cooled down and back to normal color.

I have discovered it is better in addition to washing them thoughly I also "rinse" them with denatured alchol then blow with air to dry. No fingerprints or any residue.
