Howdy all!
Just took some pictures of my latest glaze and posted them on my site. =
If you would like to see it, here's the link.

Click on Ravenscrag then, for a larger view of each, click on the =
picture.

The glaze didn't quite come out as I thought it would but I think I like =
it better than the picture showing what the glaze should look like. The =
recipe called for "copper" and I used copper carbonate. This, I =
suspect, gave me more blues in the glaze. It is supposed to be a green =
breaking to blue, but is mostly a light blue breaking to a "kinda" =
blue-green where it overlaps white. The lower portions are semi matte =
and will not mark with a table knife, so seems fairly durable. =20
