Just found these messages and would like to get the recipe for Tom's Cream
Tan Breaking Red.....If you could send I would appreciate it greatly.....

I've been testing Pinnell and the Dark Mottled Green has not blistered for
me on
Standard's #112 Clay..... definitely try it thinner. Ive also used it
with Pinnell Cream Tan on top to get a wonderful sort of Robin's Egg blue
with speckling using
the #112.

Thanks in advance for recipe

Here's Tom Buck's foodsafe conversion of Cream Breaking Red:

Custer Feldspar 41
Gerstley Borate 22
Whiting 9
Strontium Carbonate 3
Flint 25

Add: tin oxide 13
Red Iron oxide 2 (or up it to 4) This was reported by Judith Enright on
3/27/97
as very smooth, yellowish cream with very thin flashes of orangy red with
the 2% RIO,
She noted brownish speckling on inside of the test cup. She tested it on ^6
porcelain bisqued at ^04 as well as ^04-^6 terra cotta also bisqued at ^04..
The terral cotta results were abysmal. The recipe is percentage based fired
in oxidation
