Alisa og Claus Clausen on thu 24 jan 02
Typical Alisa...the only recipe I think I have may have made up, I forget
to write in.
From this recipe...I would like to hear if someone with calculation
software would
download it and tell me if it is all right or how I could improve it. I
like the look of the glaze, but need to look
deeper. Thanks.

Cobalt stripe underneath glaze had soft boarders but did not move.
RIO stripe underneath glaze had harder boarders, no movement.
Stain showed up very pale under the glaze.
Next trials will color it directly with oxides.
Also, because there is so much clay, I will single fire a few larger tests
(not near anything I need).
