Not to beat a dead horse, but I was following that recent discussion
about a Floating Blue glaze (^6) and decided to try the recipe that
Ron Roy tweaked. The thing that sparked my curiosity is that someone
mentioned how stable that glaze is, with no running or defects. Some
of my other blue glazes are too "iffy" for my taste.
So I mixed up a 100 gm batch and tested it - nice.
Then I tried it on some textured tiles - wow.
Now I've glazed a whole set of backsplash tile with it - they came out
just gorgeous. (I'm using Black Mountain clay.) I posted some pictures
on my blog, in case anyone's interested in seeing the results.

One more thing - can anyone here explain how to search the archives? I
used to be able to search, but can't seem to find the correct method
now. I've asked a few ClayArt buds off line, but no one seems to know.
Thanks!

If you use the base you can also get some great other glazes with different
oxides. I have found this base to be one of the most reliable glazes you
can use. It fires fairly smooth without faults from cone 5 to a cone 7, but
will crawl if you fire it higher.
You can get a variety of bright blues, blacks, browns and greens. I have
been using it since 1976.

Hi Randy or Jamie,
Could you please send me the Ron Roy tweaked Floating Blue? I have not
been on the clayart list in forever, thought I would try to get more
"educated" this winter. Thanks in advance. I will admit, I was a bit
shocked to discover 47 new emails in one day. Wow.
