Dear Mel,
I love this glaze.

buy a quart of cone 6 clear glaze from your favorite pottery store.

add 100 cinnamon hearts melted in hot water, mix glaze with pink
lemonade, apply thinly.
inscribe the names with cherry concentrate

delicious

Ok ok, I get the derision over my recent questions about working on a pale
floral pink glaze for ^6. Actually it is to be used as a flesh tone for
some mildly kinky pots a friend is doing, not to write childrens' names on
their MIL blue cookie dunking cups, but I accept the teasing.
I ended up with an acceptably good shade. One batch that I sieved before
adding the oxide, ended up with pink speckles all over from the un-sieved
color, looked just like a redhead's complexion, with freckles all over.
