christmas trees

Christmas trees are my next project.  I am using the following firing schedule taken from Gillian Hulse's  book, Kiln Formed Glass:

Tack Fuse Firing:

400 dph..........................1000 degrees.........................Hold 10 mins
600 dph..........................1420 degrees..........................Hold 5 mins
Full..................................900 degrees..........................Hold 1 hour
100 dph...........................700 degrees...........................hold 1 min
Full  ..................................70 degrees...........................off

I used 1 layer of 3mm green glass which I topped with 1 layer of 2mm clear glass, inserted high temperature hook in between the two layers.  On top I placed a few stringers along with green, blue, yellow and red millefiori.  Pictures of the finished product to follow.  So here it is.  I forgot to attach the pot at the bottom, but it still looks ok, and the tack fusing worked well
