er....John, that looks REALLY green to me.....
It's something that bugs me, glazes that are called a color they are not. I
have one myself that I use on a regular basis, got it from the first studio
I worked in. It's called Matte Turquoise. It ain't. It's green. :( I
have another one that I found online called Blueberry HIll. It ain't blue.
It's black and oilspot. Go fig. I liked Alisa's test pot because it WAS
actually turquoise! Now to test the recipe myself....

It's definitely turquoise.

On this subject, I have wondered what Stonehenge Glaze (recipe on
Frogpond?) should look like? I have only gotten a blue, which I do not
remember Stonehendge available in. I have not checked the website
recently, but maybe now there is a photo of it.

Ow! Yup, that's what happens when you fire it in reduction. It
....well....
turns green. Sorry, my bad- I think it must be that whole chromosome
thing, you
know, only having one with the red/green gene instead of two. Induces
an inability to make appropriate distinctions.
BTW, many thanks for the ash- I'm set now.
