Fiber blanket mold.

So i made a 6 1/4 by 6 1/4 inch panel of transparent blue and transparent aqua fractured irid and then, as is my wont, I placed it in the kiln over a loosely assembled fiber blanket propped up by kiln furniture and then set the following firing schedule:

300dph........................1220 degrees.......................hold 1 hour 15 mins
full.................................900 degrees......................hold 1 hour
100 dph..........................700 degrees......................off

Still hot in there, haven't taken it out yet, but I can see there are some bumpy issues on the bottom.  Next time will have to be sure to smooth out the bottom better and also work on a better shape or design for the blanket.

A lot of issues, misshapen and not in a good way.  There edge where I fused two pieces together was missing a chip and that seems to have been agravated by the full fuse

I cut this out of the fiber blanket and most of the petals are well shaped but not the bottom one.  I also raised the fiber blanket mold on some kiln furniture and used the same firing schedule as above.  Used a piece of glass that I had fused several years ago.
