Hello Ababi,
I copied Carenza Hayhoe's peacock glaze down in Sept 99 when it was called
Peacock/Emerald Green ^6. I thought that sounded enchanting. It was one of
the first glazes I ever made. It pinholed like mad and could only be called
a mutant peacock because it came out slate blue/grey with dark mustard
swathes. It would have been one for the bin except that where I covered
it with Tony Hansen's 5x20 glaze in blue (1.5% cobalt carb and 1.0% copper
carb), there were no pinholes and the mix of swirling colours was very
interesting.
So, I changed it by halving the zinc, substituting wollastonite for whiting
and "tossing in a frog's leg or two." Just kidding.
EPK 10
Custer 30
Frit 3134 10
Wollastonite 17
Silica 20
OM #4 Ball Clay 8
Zinc Oxide 5
Titanium Dioxide 10%
Cobalt Carb 1.25%
Copper Carb 1.25%
It is still a mutant peacock; slate blue/grey with dark mustard swathes, but
no pinholes. I fire this to ^6. On iron bearing stoneware, it really needs
to be thick and with a second layer of a different glaze on top of parts of
it to jazz it up. (I still put TH 5x20 blue over it using a brush.) On
white stoneware, it can be by itself ; blueish grey with mustard yellow
swathes. (Sounds icky, as my kids would say, but it's actually rather
pretty as well as interesting.) The surface is shiny with a very smooth
feel to it.
Who says glazes can't travel? They do, but they look very different when
they get off the plane.
Best regards, Carol

Thank you Carol!
I will Change some of the materials. I do not use Frit 3134 too expensive
here and I will try your glaze. It will take sometime as for my next firing
I prepare Raku , the one after will probeblty ^6 crystalline. After I will
test I will write to you!

Hello Carol, again.
Try the other way around:
1) above 20/5
2) above 20/5 but use only 10 kaolin!
