>>I already deleted the Digest with the question . Someone, whose wife is a
weaver and uses some lichen in the woven work, asked if real lichen was used
in a glaze. No, it isn't because lichen is a combustible and would burn up
early in the firing. What it leaves behind might be strange: try it.
I have heard of "alligator glaze", a cone 04 glaze (don't have the recipe).
Take it from there.<<
