Ups and downs

My excitement when I opened the kiln was short-lived. When I got the front stacks unloaded, I found that most of the back was bloated badly. Pretty frustrating. I'm not sure why it happened, either. I may have not burned the carbon and/or the sulfur out completely, or I overfired. If anyone has expertise, please take a look and tell me what you think.

I did get some really nice stuff out of the kiln, though, and I really like how the test glazes turned out. The Shaner Oribe has especially caught my fancy. Half a success is better than none.
