For some reason the two layers of glass didn't get like each other so the top layer did a runner and jumped off the bottom one trying to escape from the kiln!
I put the piece on my block of wood and started to get another piece ready when I could hear a popping sound and then felt a sharp feeling on the back of my arm like someone was stabbing my skin... to discover it was pieces of broken glass flying up off the block as it was cooling! Ouch!
So it's back to the drawing board on this one. Not sure why the glass reacted the way it did - I guess it is just one of those mysteries of life which will remain unsolved!

Hi there Karyn....maybe the two pieces of glass were not compatible???
Yes I discovered that one of the frits I was using was COE93 and the rest were COE96... I didn't think it would matter as it was only a small amount in comparison to the rest of the COE96.. but obviously it did!
Hi Karyn and thanks for visiting my blog. Yes there seems to be a compatibility problem with the glass. However, I do love this piece. I see endless possibilities with this glass.
Nice to meet you

it just hapened to me too!!! and supposedly both pieces of glass were coe 90!!! go figure :-)
It's frustrating... at least I can say it must have been the difference in glass but not for you Patricia. Frustrating hey!
