Aloha, I've had a few queries about how I fired this glaze that I posted. I
pulled it off Brad Sondahl's web page (thanks Brad) Lots of glazes. Check
it out.

I fired this glaze in ^10 Oxidation on porcelain.
I hate it when firing info is omited on Clayart, don't you?

I got a stable opaque shiny matt light sky blue with some soft texture,
nice. it seemed to be less pretty where thick.

I'm also looking for the 'Ulitmate Blue' oxidation or reduction. If anyone
has a great blue that they want to share, I'd love it. And don't forget to
include info on firing!

Dean, paradise still is.
