The reason I have sent you to my site was to avoid a terribly long letter
including all my tests. After all: What do you mean when you write foam?
So I will try to direct you. I my school we used styrofoam balls inside the
claybody. This is a terrible material! Dangerous fumes! Try to deep in
broken pieces of very dry bread, when the clay will dry the bread will
vanish.
Try to cover with a slip out of the same claybody that you use + 2-5 Silicon
Carbide SiC 100 mesh you buy it at abrasive supplier. Than you must cover it
with a MATTE glaze. This variation I made for Marty Anderson's Butterscotch
worked for me the best . I try to find a base glaze, using this recipe, but
did not work. I will add it here. You must try the way I did to make a long
bar, separate it to squares and cover each one with a different matte glaze.
Thin and thick. You can use Vermiculite the rounded soft kind, it will make
holes in ^6. You can break a piece of Styrofoam and bit the clay slab and
get a nice effect.
I see I lost it so I send you the original recipe, probably the same, easier
to make!

I have been looking at suggestions for glaze recipes and at Ababi's web site
for a solution to creating a foamy looking tile like a wave on a beach.
This morning I had an idea to put sand in a plastic box and press marbles,
beads, and small styrofoam balls into the sand more than half-way to look
like bubbles. I mixed a batch of plaster of paris and poured it over the
top carefully to make a mold. Aren't I brilliant! Oh yes! UNTIL the
styrofoam and plastic beads all popped up to float on the top! I can't
believe how stupid I was not to think that through.
Any suggestions to where to find 4-5 different sizes of non-floating
spheres?
