I am having so much fun working on my glass pieces. I almost can't pull myself away from it. I really need a larger kiln. Doing only one piece at a time puts a lot of crimp in my style. Then it takes so long to completely cool the kiln so I can load it again. I am not complaining, well yes I am, but I shouldn't. I should be thankful for everything I have I need to start keeping a kiln diary so I can figure out exactly what I did to cause each piece to turn out the way it did.
I am finding that even working in 90 COE some patterned glasses fuse fine, others migh cause the piece to split completely apart. I need to do some more research and talk to some professionals.
