Several months ago i asked the list for help with salt pigs... and i rec'd
lots of useful suggestions and some minor skepticism for trying to fill and
order that was way above my present skill set... But i wanted to learn to
make these and do a good job for this friend and as a future product for
sales i hoped... Anyhoo, it took awhile to get the picture up here as the
first ones were lost in a Floating Blue disaster and are presently in the
shed awaiting target practice... and then i got carried away with glaze
testing while all the bisqued pieces collected dust on the shelves awaiting
their new clothes...
So here's a picture in one of the new glazes i worked on, a fake-celadon:

in the same glaze...

Annie,
I don't know anything about salt pigs, but your faux celadon looks very nice.
Congratulations!

Anne, all of your pieces are beautiful. After seeing your "pigs" I am
inspired to try some too.
I am especially enthralled by your fake-celadon, you have a
nice even coat. Did you spray it on?
Would you mind sharing the recipe or it's source? It is something
I am also interested in achieving, a lovely transparent, even color.

Hi Annie,
I too would be interested in the glaze, if you do not mind sharing it. I am
interested in working with more glazes at cone 6, and this would be great for
my carved porcelain pieces.
Thanks in advance, but fully understand if you do not want to post the glaze.

goes.

Well, on and off-list people are very keen on the glaze so i will post the
colorants for it here... BUT, its from MC6G, the glossy Clear Liner glaze
on page 97 so the recipe i won't post...
I tried so many dfferent celadons and base glazes with these & other
combinations of colorants but most were too blue or too matt or too milky
or crazed like mad, so this was the winner...
To GLossy CLear Liner
Add:
0.25 copper carb
0.10 Mason stain 6600
2.0 bentonite
This glaze is VERY finicky for thickness of application, where it is
thicker it is darker, overlaps and touch-ups will show, a lot! And for
that reason if you're mildly perfectionnist this glaze could drive you
bonkers... I agree with some clayarters who commented to me off-list that
it would be better sprayed but i'm not equipped for that... or even make
it thinner and try 2 coats...
I very much appreciate the generosity and help i've gotten from ppl on
this list...
Thanx,
Anne, in Saint-Sauveur, where the nest in the artificial XMas tree on our
front porch is now up to 3 little baby robin chicks as of this morning!! :)

Hello Annie;
The faux celadon is very realistic. Well done. I like
your set a lot!
The salt pigs look well made and polished. Right now,
it's not going with the group, IMHO. I feel that maybe
if you can incorparate a bit of texutre, say on the
knob part. (the tip of the pot, just a little bit) It
would make a stronger set.
Have you thought of making tiny spoon in the salt pig?
Regards
May

Anne, I like your work with the fake celedon. Are these pieces made using
the textured wallpaper someone talked about a while back? I thought perhaps
since most look to be slab work they might be...nice. I am intrigued by the
4 chambered pot, I like it, but wonder what use you had in mind for it when
you made it Muffins to serving dish?

Hi Liz,
You're right...i do use anaglyptic paper! The persian print is my favorite
at the moment especially with this glaze. The feathered or leafy pattern
works better with deeper colours...
The 4 section dish has many uses: the picture doesn't show the size well
but its about 7=BC x 7=BC, so each section is 3=BD and about 3/4 of an inch
deep... We eat a lot of fondues, raclettes and such and this type of dish
can be used for condiments or sauces or even for burger condiments or for
olives and such... many many uses,... i liked the idea of handing around
one dish rather than several bowls...
Thanx for looking and commenting!
Anne, in Saint-Sauveur... where baby robin chicks are doing fine and have
their eyes open today we think, from the brief glimpses we've caught :)
