Cone 6 vs Raku, what should I do, what should I do?

This is the Blue Satin Raku with Seth's Luster over the shoulder.  Looks pretty garish!  I plan to get it into another firing soon and into post-reduction to tone it down.  Then encaustics over the body.

Today was a Cone 6 glaze class at the guild and I worked on sorting out my ^6 glazes to try to get some tests into the kiln with the class since they are planning to do 3 types of firings.  At the end of the day, I found out that there will probably be enought test pieces to fill the kiln so mine won't get in.  Oh, Ah.  Now I wish I'd spent the time putting raku glazes on the 2 dozen test vessels I have made.  Guess that is the project for tomorrow.
