Alisa og Claus Clausen on sun 3 jun 01
I am really pleased of course, that the WoDo and 20 x 5 worked also well =
for you, Marianne. WoDo can be colored with oxides and stains to obtain =
a multitude of colors and nuances. I like this glaze because it has an =
excellent feel and is a waxy matt, but also, it gives many, many =
nuances over texture and with layering. =20
Alisa of Claus Clausen is Alisa og Claus Clausen, which just means "and" =
in Danish. Maybe I will change that.
