New firing schedule

Here are the results using the new firing schedule (pictures were taken with my portable studio). They were fired at cone 6 and more green. I think I still prefer mysterious blue to be more blue than green. However, I still like the result. The new schedule took almost double the time (from 7 and half hours to 14 and a half with some soaking and slow cooling in between).

Looking good, Prudence. A small soak and slow cool is the key to good results in electric since the temperature drops like a rock once you shut down. Between 1100 and 800 C all sorts of interesting things happen with iron, titanium and rutile glazes. Mysterious blue (Actual glaze name is Floating Blue/Hare's Fur from Jim Chapell's book) could turn green at a hard Cone 6 or above.
