Dear Annie,
Good for you, your officially here. Now the next learning module.
Look in the archives under mocha or moccaware (seen it both ways)
and you will find a wealth of practical inmformation. I did and I had =
mixed successes, but ultimately decided I did not like it as much as =
other decorative methods.
Intersting history and fun to make. The method I used called for a =
manganese wash over the white slip, so caution. I will be happy to tell =
you about how I made it, but I know there is at least one true mocha =
guru on the list. The only thing that comes to mind now is that I got =
really good branches when I used a very full brush of oxide right up on =
the edge of the painted slip, as opposed to painting in the middle of a =
slip ground. but there are many possibilities.

Best regards,
Alisa in Denmark
