Hello Lela.
My advise for you needs some testings.
A)You need a runny glaze as a base.
B) it requires some tests:fire to 700 or 750C , in flat plates some
glazes. On each plate a different one. Inside the plate lay about 0.5
C'm ( 2.5 cm one inch) of silica. Above it pour a thick layer of
glazes, for low fire use low fire glaze for ^6 you can try both. After
firing, take out the glaze and clean it as much as possible from the
silica. Smash it with a hammer, while the "glaze" covered with a
material, to defend your eyes.
(You can try also broken bottles)
C) To your runny glaze, add CMC, and while still wet, pour the
"granular glaze" over.
The "granular glaze" will run with the runny glaze.
B/1) The best results I got from a granular engob. The glaze was runny
but the engob run a little.
Most of your 04 glazes will be runny at ^6
