Results:
The glaze pulled, separated and crawled from the underlying glaze of =
contrasting color (used Nutmeg glaze, see archives)making a high and =
textured lichen effect. The glaze is slightly dry and although the =
effect is very textured, it separated into islands with sharper borders =
than the rounder, ball like islands I was aiming for. With the fine =
help of Bacia, I was able to get this glaze to work this far, because =
she told me that it must be applied very thickly, until it crackles a =
bit when dried, but to much so that it will fall off the pot as you lift =
it into the kiln. There is a lot to experiment with this glaze. It can =
also be colored with stains and oxides. =20
