Dear gayle,
I have no crazing on my porcelain with your recipe. I used Geo. kaolin
if that makes a difference. I think it's the clay body. I also tried
Malgrems faux celedon to ^6 eletric. It was much deeper (too deep for my
taste) but very nice texture.-could cut the copper for my taste.
Also tried that Mimuzo recipe in this month's CM. tried some stains. I
had an old bag of Crinson Mason stain. On Gayle's recipe it was red, on
Mimuzo it was textured mauve. The degussa colors on Gayle's came out
brilliant. -orange .
