Ouch.

This particular kiln firing had some peculiar results. I was quite pleased with how much of the work fired. But, the tree stumps vitrified a bit too much on the exterior bark. Also, the small stump that was supposed to fit under the glass dome didn't shrink enough. It doesn't fit. Off by a whisker.

I like the way that the pills turned out, and now I'm mulling over coating the capsules with clear glaze. The donuts vitrified weirdly too. So, back to the drawing board. I only want the frosting to be glossy. The part that vitrified stuck to the kiln shelf. And, while trying to sand it off of the shelf, I split my index finger open quite deeply. My kitchen looked like a crime scene, because it bled a great deal. I only have novelty bacon bandaids, so they had to do. Today, the finger is still sore.
