With all this talk about blues...
Does anyone have a favorite =5E9-=5E10 reduction glaze that fires blue that =
they'd
be willing to share? I've had a few replies to a request for a slate blue =
matt.
How about glossy deep blue or Blue Hare or soft blue, whatever. I'm so sick=
of
my blue palette. I'm ready to throw them out and breathe a little new life =
in
the kiln. I'll gladly swap the recipes for my three used glazes (Broken =
Blue,
Colonial Blue and Birds Beak Blue) with anyone that emails me with a Blue =
glaze
recipe. TIA Very Much=21

Aloha Tracy et.al.
Here's a blue from Brad Sondahl's website that I tried and liked. I am
looking for the ultimate blue, too, till I do I'll be blue, too, will you??
I don't like cold cobalt blues, rather the rutile or tourquoise type.
Thanks Brad.

Dean, another dull day in paridise.
