Results:
Semi gloss, satin smooth surface, dark brown. As described in Clay =
Times, an unfortunate "depressing Yuck Brown".
However, the surface is so attractive, and in strong light, there is an =
orange spec. This is a glaze I will further test, like
in the Clay Times article by Lana Wilson and Kate Magruder, to develop =
the color. The surface is appealing but my test results of color need =
work.
I found from my glaze work with red clay glazes, the difference of a =
flux or spar can make vast variations in surface color.
tested 11.5 Crocus Martis instead of RIO
Same silk mat surface, covering glaze. Color is a green brown where =
thickest and brown where thinnest.
