In looking at the archives, it turns out that
it was almost exactly a year ago that I first
reported on my crawl glaze tests. The Lana
Wilson recipe has been doing great for me. I
use OM4 ball clay instead of Kentucky. I am
firing these to cone 6 in my L&L electric
kiln.
Last week I decided to try adding a colorant.
The white crawl against my dark clay is too
dramatic for some of the pots I do. My first
test was adding 7 percent red iron oxide to
the glaze. I posted photos to Flickr:

I like the subtlety of the brown by itself,
but the brown on top of the white glaze is
better--providing contrast to the clay color,
yet not overpowering it like the white by
itself does.
These pots are small vases with flower frogs.
The liner glaze is the cone 6 temmoku posted
by Cathy Harris on March 31, 1999.
And for part 2, I tried using Aleene's Tacky
Glue for a resist on some other pots. This
idea was posted by Carol Smeraldo on December
11, 2003. The glue is fairly easy to peel off.
It did not resist the glaze like I thought it
would. (I should have read her message better.)
The glaze ended up on top of the glue. The glue
was fairly easy to peel off and did not let any
of the glaze through. Overall, it's a lot like
liquid latex--only cheaper and less smelly.

Hi ...
i did several searches and cannot find the post or glaze formula fro the
cone 6 tenmoku from March 31st 1999...
i am getting ready to do some tests for cone 6 ox tenmokus and would love
to try this one if its durable/stable enough that you can use it as a
liner glaze... would you mind^posting it, or emailing it to me? or sending
me the link... sorry to ask, but i would really like to be able to try
it...
