Wow, thanks Holly--and Ababi. I'll have a go with the butterscotch matt
pumpkin glaze tomorrow. I just got new scales and want to play with
them.

Cindy,
I have a very dry glaze that my husband says looks like ripening pumpkins -
on a pot it goes towards orangey with a greenish tint. Only right for that
special thing, like maybe Halloween pumpkins. It is nice on tiles because
the thicker places come out
whitish-cream. The thinner places are a nice burnt-orange rust. This is a
very matt glaze, with some crystally sheen but VERY dry to the touch for us.
It was posted by the glaze-addicted Ababi Sharon in November, 1999. I have
a scan of it on a tile, I will try to send it to Janet to put on SUCAW. But
the color on pots is oranger for us than the tile.
Butterscotch Matt ^6 Ox.
(Pumpkin would be a good name for this)
Frit 3134 22.3
Dolomite 22.2
Titanium dioxide 11.9
Lithium carbonate 4.1
Ball clay 38.3
Whiting 1.2
----------------------
Rutile 5.6
Ababi, I can't remember if I changed the glaze at all from when you posted
it.
This is an interesting glaze, it has lots of clay and very low silica. From
the point of view of Ian Currie's grid, it is glaze A, if I am looking at it
correctly.

Yes, I think you changed a little bite, I changed it to lately, I will write
sometime later about,(not my glaze basically), but I want to offer here
"half glaze", means not ready, I think some more flux is needed, I will
change it to your materials through Insight and than explain.
pumpkin ^6
=======
RUTILE.............. 7.00 6.73%
BONE ASH............ 24.00 23.08%
These two materials are the only "holy connection"
in the recipe, following one of Lana Wilson's tests, I found that this
amount of the material, gives you dry pumpkin color, means the bone ash is
not a flux here and should not be considered this way!
3134................ 11.94 11.48% -not enough!
The rest of these materials are theoretical for me.
The red art, was choose (mine is similar)as it has a lot of iron.
REDART.............. 27.15 26.11%
EPK KAOLIN.......... 12.27 11.80%
FLINT............... 21.64 20.81%
========
104.00
Si:Al 9.38
SiB:Al 9.84
Expan 7.23
Perhaps it would mature in a higher cone, or you will find a solution,
anyway, I did not go on testing it.
Hope this help Remember the only two materialsin the begining of the recipe,
has to be the way they are!

I could use some pointers towards a ^6 ox. glaze that
is pumpkin or a fall leaf looking color using raw
oxides if anyone has any leads? I have very little
time for testing and can't seem to locate any good
starters. I prefer using coloring oxides over stains.
The last one I worked on was more brown than I like.
Ron are you watching this thread? Whats your opinion?
Jon - Yep you are certainly one of those who I
remember using found clay and if a rock hit your nail
while throwing you flicked it out and kept it going.
The burn off of materials are those that you can't
always smell but if you do notice a sulfur odor its
probably just the black top tar that you scraped it
out from under. Lol Be good, nice to see you again! I
still have a pot of yours that means alot to me and
would expect more in the very near future.
I believe we are due a get together for some firings
of some kind? Show and tell and nice meal in the old
house anytime your ready!
Airbrushing - The glaze would have to be cream
consistency using the supplied tips and needles that
come with Paasche guns. Take the butt plate off which
will reveal the spring loaded plunger and don't put it
back on. When you get a snag that won't go through
pull back on the plunger while aiming away towards a
garbage can or some other place and see if it will
spit the clog out. Use glycerin of PG to help you will
lubrication. That is really a pretty light weight gun
for this kind of material. A critter gun might work
better? Also you will need at least 60 pounds of
pressure but can slip by with 45-50 PSI. There is some
really serious art out there using airbrushing
techniques and I do favor the trend since I used to
airbrush on the beach once upon a time and the company
I owned manufactured some of the airbrush colorants
that were marketed through Paasche as introductory
colors. Also my trials of glazing with airbrushing has
been unique and interesting. Should I tell you to also
be wearing a mask since FREE silica is costly if you
get too much in your lungs among other obnoxious
things that can be seen when using compressed air to
shoot paints or glazes. These micro droplets can
remain air-born for awhile since they are atomized and
that means they can enter any opening with a crack
including your nose and mouth.
please be sure to send me some pictures of your
finished work. I love looking at pottery and pictures
of pottery of all styles. I think I have over-stated
this before but will say it again, pottery is my life!
I love every aspect of it and I love being around
potters. Its what keeps me going! Jon B. is a long
standing pottery bud of mine that can attest to that.
He too is a wild man with the mud and I welcome him to
our group with open arms. Its great to see people I
have been in contact with over the years coming to
Clayart. We are growing by leaps and bounds and headed
in the right direction!!! Alisa those were some great
test BTW. I know you worked hard on all that.
