Snowflakes

My snowflake program originated from the web, but the firing temperature was adjusted slightly.

I thought I should post this in case I ever need it while I'm at school!

1) 01 min ↑ 770º (1418º)
2) 16 min @ 770º
3) 17 min ↓ 516º (959º)
4) 1:17 @ 516º
5) 3:20 ↓ 390º (734º)
6) 4:20 ↓ 50º (122º)

An alternate firing lowered the temperature in an attempt to stop the pointy bits forming on the edge of the glass:

1) AFAP ↑ 1400° (760°C) for 5 min

2) AFAP ↓ 959°   (516°C) for 60 min

3) 60 min ↓ 734°  (390°C) for 0 min

4) 60 min ↓ 122°    (50°C) for 0 min

What I've realized is that I believe the way to stop fused glass from forming sharp edges (which don't have to be at the corners of glass, they form on any edge/side), is to raise the temperature in steps, not as fast as possible.
