Hey All,
Fired a kiln full of Waterfall brown, Licorice, Raspberry and Paul
Lewing's "TuTu Pink". Great results with all of them, not one drip on the
shelves!
I sieved the glazes twice through 80 mesh, then once through 100 (took
forever!). I sprayed the glazes on and found them smooth and easy to apply.
I sprayed the waterfall brown on the inside of large flared bowls,
licorice on the outside. The results were stunning! Looks for all the world
like the striations in a big hazel eyeball. Okay, maybe not so great to
serve food in, but a great meditation or coffee table piece.
The licorice stayed put right where it was sprayed, however I did get
a few very minor pinholes in a few pieces. Beautiful glossy surface...like a
black mirror.
Raspberry was terrific but a bit richer in color than the picture in
the book, more of a cranberry, which is fine.
And I finally got a freakin' pink that my mother likes..."if it's not
pink, it's not pretty". What the hell, she's 76, if she wants pink, I'll
make her pink.
Thanks Ron, Jon, and Paul.
Cher Hoffman
