The last firing was a true success and I am repeating the schedule almost exactly.... just adding a couple of minutes to the soak and to each anneal phase as one of the wine bottles is pretty big. Also increasing the second anneal temp to 955 because even though this kiln seems hot I have quite a bit of system 96 in this load and it requires about 960 I think.

I haven't done pictures yet -- put will post them soon. The little spice bottles as wall pockets look fantastic and now I have discovered decorating items like this with glued-on cabs (I hate toxic glues so am using weldbond).

Lots of ideas -- more to come.....
