I'm a big fan of the popular floating blue glaze (recipe follows). I've
tried to change the colorants to achieve a floating turquoise and/or a
floating purple. Have had no success. Each time, the colors come out flat
-- no breakage as there is in floating blue. Any suggestions?

Floating Blue ^6 oxidation

Neph syen. 47.3
Gerstly Borate 27.0
Silica 20.3
EPK 5.4
Red Iron Oxide 2.0
Cobalt Oxide 1.0
Rutile 4.0

Thanks for your help!!!
