That is Profound! I like it, your mom was a pretty smart cookie

Wendy, these bubbles were EXTREME - I'll post a pic later. My last firing went well, hopefully I have figured out now

One tile DONE!!! 7 more to go

Here's all eight tiles. One done, one glazed but not glaze fired, one bisque fired but not glazed, and 5 still as clay in the bag :lol:

More kiln nerd stuff:
I fired the kiln empty one more time with 07, 06, and 05 cones to 1840. I was just right for cone 07 but not hot enough for the cone 06 that I wanted

When I glaze fired the tile above, I put in 06 and 05 cones. At 1860, it was still not quite hot enough for 06. Next firing I'll go to 1875 and it should be just about perfect
