Alisa and Claus Clausen on sun 10 dec 00
Dear David,
Thanks for that alternative receipe.
Interesting, of course that results will be different. I am not really =
a Floating Blue fan,
so I have only fired it about 6 times. The test I made was thick =
enough, and double dipped, as
I usually do, on one side of the bowl. The test was fired to cone 6, but =
that is the same temp.
I have fired my regular bowls to with the original receipe, resulting in =
the floating blue that is=20
desired. All of the test bowls with colemanite and the Cobbeldi were =
brown with green,
and on re examining the Cobbledi, I can see there is a very thin line of =
floating blue on the
top edge, very thin though.=20
I am sure that people will get different and better results with =
different placements=20
(as prior discussed) in the kiln, applications, etc. But for myself, it =
is not a glaze
I use, so the tests are just jumping off points for glazes I wish to =
further pursue.
As a given, these reports are to share receipes and reports, we must all =
make
our own tests after our personal interests. =20
Best regards,
Alisa in Denmark
