Loaded 3 more panels into the kiln last night(destined for Cobb Lane). These have elaborate cut lines in the center panel. The tape was needed to keep the glass from sliding out. I drew squiggly magic marker lines on the panels before cutting them, for obvious reasons. The magic marker ink should burn out(I hope). The astute observer will notice that the panel is being fused on split shelving. After an exhaustive search I was unable to find a supplier that offers 1-pieces kiln shelves in 29" diameter. Thru experimentation I found that I was able to seal the seam with regular drywall mud. I haven't had any problems with the mud sticking to the float glass, at temps up to 1600F(thus far). Any residue on the glass washes off easily with a scrub brush and soapy water.

I was also able to get 4- six packs of cola bottles loaded up, using any kiln shelf I could find. These are about 1/2 the size of the larger panels(11 bottles), and will have mason stain included. These will be for sale at the Moss Rock Festival.

Also for sale at Moss Rock will be the "Van Gogh ears", necklace pendants made from old light bulbs. Each bulb will yield 2-3 pendants. These will be loaded into the Frankenskutt after lunch.
