OH! YOU DIDN'T MELT!

The melted cone pack......nice.

Let me begin by sobbing happily....the test tiles survived, at least in one piece, and the glazes, well....mostly worked (Although whose to say they'd come out the same colour if fired correctly, huh?). The cone pack really says it all. The cone 5 is completely melted to a point where it was adhered to the shelf it was sitting on and its completely smooth, no crease like the other two cones. Beautiful....

Onto the test tiles! They didn't melt, which makes me super happy, but they did dry out to nasty feeling things...like sandpaper..but worse *sigh* . The glazes on the white tiles came out interesting enough but the red tiles all came out the same colour...a deep...black...brown (how disappointing). For this sake, I only took pictures of the white tiles to show ya, since the red ones were just...sad. But the white ones look good! The blend is so...so very blendy. More blendy than I thought it would end up, it's almost like paint mixing part by part which I assumed wouldn't occur.

Line Blend1- left to right- Cobalt to Iron

The most interesting colour happened around the half and half point in the middle. The mixture made this lovely metallic grey blue that has a nice warm tone to it. It's defiantly a colour I would be interested in using if I could recreate it and it isn't simply a result of the over-firing that happened. I would be interested in simply retesting the center glaze to check and see, good thing I kept all eleven glazes...

Onwards to the next test~! Huzzah~
