Thanks for your photographic suggestions Carenza. Creative thinking!
I have just removed several beautifully glazed mugs from my ^6 electric firing,
using your silky peacock/emerald blue glaze; Only one problem...the glaze was a
georgeous pale softly grayed blue green. Any clues? No snake movement at all,and
mine broke clear pale olive where thin. Are these oxides correct; titanium
dioxide 10%, cobalt oxide 0.75%, copper oxide 1%. I had increased the cobalt
because I used the carbonate. Lori in New Port Richey, Fl.

I was just reading the message regarding the photographic suggestions...but
am most interested in the Peaacock/Emerald glaze. Did I miss a posting on
the formula? I am interested in receiving a formula for this glaze...sounds
great. O'Brien
