New heel method

My ceramic mould has come out terrible with loads of undercuts and wonky bits so I have shaped this steel instead to get a smoother heel. I have built up the curve with ceramic fibre (not shown in this photo) and covered it with kiln paper... so hopefully the glass should slump into this shape! YAY!

I am really optimistic now, and providing there are no disasters in the next week or so, I will be alright to finish all in time for the deadline! But that doesn't stop me being stressed!
