Have gotten this purple/blue velvet dry mat surface at ^06/04 from Lana
Wilson glaze. Just ran across the following while searching from some other
^6 glazes:
^6 Purple/Blue
Barium Carb - 200
Custer Feldspar - 200
EPK - 90
Copper Carb - 30
I've not tested this yet and the numbers are from a batch I had weighted ou=

test to make a velvet texture.

Dear Debby Gower,
I am rather puzzled by your request since I regards Velvet as a material
which is .... Velvet...A soft closely woven fabric....
Or do you intend to get the appearance of this material as it might appear
when reproduced in a painting or photograph ?
