Jason-
It's possible that the color problems you are having are from your
clay body and not the glazes. The glazes may be effected by extra iron in
the clay bodies- try using the same glazes on porcelain or over a coating
of white slip. Remember- celadons are translucent.

Also- just because you didn't get the colors you EXPECTED doesn't mean that
the glazes are FAILURES.

Good luck- keep experimenting.
