How dare you, just for that I shall screw up your front page again!
I've been experimenting really with how much of each colour will give the result I like and varying the way I stack the glass in the pot. In the second of these melts I used minute amounts of the accent colours and it gave a much more pleasing result. I have a larger melt in the kiln at the moment waiting for it to anneal before taking it out ( about 3 or 4 times the size weightwise of glass ). That's why I'm taking the before and after photos to remind myself how much of each colour I put in. The accent colour pieces I photograph on a 10x10 cm square of white paper so I can judge the size. The small melts are with a 10x10cm piece of glass and varying amounts of accent colours. I weigh and measure the resulting melt. I also put a note each time I fire the kiln of temperature,
time taken to reach soak temperature and how long a soak I allow. So you see there are many variables to play with before I come up with a sure fire method where I can predict the result.
