I did a test of a Glaze that Angela Davis recently posted.

Here it is as I converted it to 100% hopefully.
Recipe Name: Randys Red Adjusted Angela Davis

I used Regular RIO and got an interesting glaze.

I dipped two layers on a tube. I fired between a Cone 6 and Cone 7.
The glazed moved a good bit to the bottom of the dip and one drip ran off
the tube.
The glaze had an olive green background with red pin head size crystals.
Fast fire and fast cool.
Should be an interesting glaze to work with.

Will have to try some Special RIO.

Hopefully I can use this glaze in layering as I really like glazes that
move, merge, mingle, and dance.

A lot of possibilities with this one.
