That was a fun assignment, and thank you. I like a challenge!
As some have noted, it's tricky glazing something that small--which I'd had
Kelly's suggestions before I did mine.
Here's my useful hint, though--I filled the teapots with water and poured
some out the spouts, then thinned the glaze that I put inside so it wouldn't
clog the spout and swished it all around. I poured the last bit out the
spouts so everything was covered--they ARE functional.
Glazing the outside was the hard part for me (picture a tiny spinning teapot
reacting to every touch of the glaze brush, trying to hold it still with a
finger that suddenly seems HUGE...) Kelly's ideas would have been great.
mel put the little blue-gray one up on his site, but you notice I said
teapotS. Couldn't resist a dragon one...he's at the bottom of the page
at http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/graphicartepsi/album?.dir=bbb8
And by the way that glaze was supposed to be _transparent_, not pool in
milky bits. Must remember to CALL AMACO tomorrow, emailing the question
hasn't resulted in an answer...I had the same problem with that glaze on
plates and bowls.
Best Regards,
Kate Johnson
