I love your videos. Great learning experience in this one! I have some textured glass and was wondering what to do with it. Have had similar things happen with bubbles. One thing that strikes me is that air will follow the path of least resistance. Try 1. putting some fiber paper/thin fire under the piece to allow air to move out below the piece and 2. adding clear powder to the circle area where you don't have any powder - this gives a more even weight across the circle. You mentioned a slower ramp and a long bubble squeeze - good idea.

Good idea Marcia, cut out the middle…..worth a try

Sometimes doing a test firing is very valuable. I don't usually do test firings because I think of them as wasting time and glass but I recently did one because the design involved using really expensive Bullseye opal striker Plum (0332) glass and I wanted to find out how saturated a color it would produce. I have the choice of using a black base layer and plum or plum and a clear top layer for this design. I learned that I will choose the black base and plum because using the plum base and a clear top layer produced a lot of large bubbles even though I had a long bubble squeeze in the firing schedule as per the Bullseye suggested firing schedules. This is a learning process.

If you do it again, put a layer of clear powder in the middle so the thickness of the powder layer is the same throughout. Just an idea.

My kiln is octagon and I feel it holds me back. Just need a little more space

Can't you take some glass out of the middle? Then it'll look very wreath-like. Really nice video.
