Overglazes are used to paint decorations or bands of color on pots.
You can make them any color you like by using stains and oxides.

Yes, you simply paint it over the unfired glaze.

The technique of signing your name with overglaze might not work
with a dark glaze. If you wanted to experiment, you might find an
oveglaze that works over a dark glaze.
For example, my rutile overglaze works great, giving a vivid
gold, over my black tenmuku glaze.
The recipe for the rutile overglaze is 25% rutile, 25% red iron
oxide, and 50% of any shiny glaze that is handy.

thanks David
I guess I am a little bit familiar with the overglaze thing afterall just
not for signing my name. I actually did try signing once with just straight
RIO on unglazed bottom. It worked but my signiture looked a little
retarted. Need a bit more practice I guess! Thanks again. Loryn
