Re: cracking during high fire

Thanks for the lesson. I am a self-taught hobbyist and did not know of this book. I'll pick up a copy. Guess I'll go on to learn some more lessons. I really like the effect of the bubble powder, so hopefully someday I'll be worthy of working with it.

Re: Fusing glass to animal skull

Thanks for all the feedback! I love the rib dinner idea. I also like the idea of casting a skull, especially since I could kilnwash it and use it for repeated slumps. :) Ah, so many fun things to try. I will indeed post when I've actually done something along these lines. My garage (aka workshop) is...

Fusing glass to animal skull

I am interested in experimenting with slumping glass over an actual animal skull and hoping to fuse them together (sort of to encase the skull in glass). I understand that cremation of bones occurs at temps of 1,600 to 1,800 Fahrenheit, so it seems slumping will work, but I wonder if anyone has done...
