I have a formula for a glaze trailer....
this summer I used an inclusion stain...yellow.
I think it is produced by Cerdec or Degussa...it is bright yellow
at cone 10...as the colorant in the glaze trailer...

You squeeze the trailer over a glaze
from a bottle...clariol tint and toner is my
favorite...can get a thin/delicate line...
lots of control

so here goes...it is for cone 10...

750 custer feldspar
150 whiting
50 flint
50 kaolin
40 colorant...in the past I used chrome
and got bright green
I substituted about 10% yellow
and when squeezed over a kaki glaze it was glorious...

so you could do a blue glaze and squeeze the yellow
glaze trailer over in any design....

bamboo karen

in the san gabriel valley of Southern California
where 15,000 acres have burned in the past couple of
days....fire is out of control...lots of friends' houses
at risk..fire trucks flying by...
drove to Pasadena this morning, and since the winds were blowing West...
went from sunny morning to dark, grey, smoke filled atmosphere....clouds of
dark from the fire smoke...ashes flying everywhere...
came home to clear skies...except the billowing clouds of smoke
in the hills...the fires are blazing....
rings of fire in the hills...this morning looked like strings
of Christmas tree lights strung throughout the hills,
we are talking miles of strings....
until you got closer and noticed 20 foot flames...
