Here's my first try at combing. Wow it's hot in there, but quite thrilling opening the kiln at 1700 degree's. The piece is 8.5 inches, done with scrap strips w/ black border.
No threat to Patty Gray but hey...........it's my first one.
Thanks for all the help along the way everyone.

Thanks Patty & Barbara,
It's 8.5 inches including the border, I had to trim a little more of the edges than I wanted to but the glass pushed my dams and it flowed a bit crooked on one side. I have a Paragon Fusion 7 (14 1/2 inches, 7 sided, but only 6 1/2 deep). I won't be doing any tall vases but I love this little kiln. I used a barbecue fork (long handled) with the tips filed down to make them thinner so I can do two lines at the same time. I did the first pull one way then closed it up reheated and pulled the other way the second time. If I hadn't had to trim so much the doulble pull lines would have been more visible, maybe next time.
