Perfecting this fused bowl-to-be

[Emily Will]

I knew that my edge matches were not perfect when I laid out this
circle of glass, but I thought that they would fuse together to deal with
the irregularities. But that did not happen as evidenced by the "black" lines
where the pieces join in the middle. So, my question is did I not hold the
temperature at the fusing point long enough, and can I go back and refuse it
to get a better result. Or, is this the best it will be and re-fusing won't help?

All suggestions are very welcome. I'd like to improve my techniques.

Thanks,
Emily

Re-fusing it will not make a difference.
Frankly, I think it's pretty good the way it is. Slump it, give it away and make another. And another.

I agree with Marty in that it is pretty good the way it is. I really like the color combinations and the design....simple but pretty.

Me too. [Agree with Marty]

If this picture is of the results of the first fuse, I'm impressed by how well you matched the outside curves on the individual pieces.
