Grace, your roses are incredibly stunning! That Cinco de Mayo is something I've never seen....nor seem the likes of! With all the challenges of the "ladies", they sure give a great deal of pleasure. Do you know "White Sail?" It is an amazing white rose for fragrance.susantroccoloauthor.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17232991943865499133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685430032033752352.post-51259565067266450232014-06-21T14:52:32.030-07:002014-06-21T14:52:32.030-07:00I always save images of your posts for idea making...I always save images of your posts for idea making later.

How to flatten a bottle. <br />1) Remove labels & clean the bottle<br />2) Place the bottle on a kiln shelf (I like to use kiln paper as well) heat at about 500 degrees an hour to 1475 degrees. Look in periodically as the kiln reaches and maintains the temperature (you may need to go a tad higher.) Once the bottles have flattened to where you want them, turn the kiln off and allow to reach room temperature or do a fancy annealing process, whichever makes you happier, let the kiln cool to 90 degrees or below before pulling your flattened bottles out. You may wish to make a jump ring made out of high temp wire to put on the opening of the bottle before you fire it. The glass from the other side will collapse and trap in into place. Hooray, flat bottles.outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685430032033752352.post-16769294065404599252014-06-17T14:27:38.717-07:002014-06-17T14:27:38.717-07:00What a great garden!
