In case you can't get through to the picture, it IS there. You have to copy
the entire URL, including the "equal" sign that apparently isn't included in
the link text. Go here to see a pretty nice photo. And remember, you have
to start copying at the right end where the un-included equal sign is or the
program will automatically flip you to a non-operating URL.

And you will say: Shame on you Ababi
You will see it as a part of my "combination", above this revised glaze. I
improved the
glaze by decreasing the feldspar adding frit that gave me room for more
kaolin that
was very low in the first recipe I used. Both recipes are good, according to
your raw
materials:

The glaze is very similar to Xavier , glossier.
You may try to add copper oxide 5'6,7, until it start being gray green,
than I belive will
be in its best


Merry glazing and happy poting
