In between all the other things Laura and I are doing I've been able to fire up the kiln a few times. I'm waiting on some glass for a special order so I don't have much cut glass prepared but I did have a supply of bottles getting dusty waiting for firing. I should get another mold so that I can do 4 at a time but, for now, this is how I set them up. The white coating is a flux that keeps the glass from getting a dull finish during firing. Here's the after. Nice and shiny! See that paper under the neck of the middle bottle? I had to use that to get the bottle to stay centered in the mold. It kept wanting to roll to one side. All cleaned and ready for photographing and listing.....whenever that happens.

Nice. I love the swirly design best. But the green bottle (bottom of the kiln picture) is the color I like best.

I just love these slumped glass bottles and the special blue one you did for me!
