Don't try this at home

I knew better, but it was after the start of firing when I realized what was going to happen to this piece. I fused these colors on a small, sample piece last year and loved how it looked, so I decided to duplicate it on a 16" round blank to slump in a bowl mold.  The frit was layered between two clear pieces of glass and the frit was too thick and the air bubbles got trapped in between the layers.  Even though I used the 3 layer firing schedule, there were other things I  could have  done to prevent these air bubbles.  Back to the drawing board.
