Thank you Joseph for your kind words.

Cool. Marko. Very nice shape. I too just made my first chalice and paten for my wife. She has just gotten her own church and needed the chalice and paten. Don't you love waterfall brown? Try it over strontium crystal matte for Iron. Every glaze kiln load has at least 1 piece with waterfall brown.

Thank You. The profile was incorporated while forming using a credit card with the profile cut into it. Drilled 2 holes into the credit card then finished the profile with scalpel blade. One of the most used profiles.

Yes, Joseph, it is Pete's Sea Foam over SCMC. For effect, I leave a swath not glazed with the SCMC. I like doing this because it gives a whole new color, the blackened part, to the piece.

Very Nice. The glaze combo has movement.

Love your trays! I like the "live" edge also.

Too Cool OldLady. Great work and planning for future pieces.

Yes. My test tile was dipped, 2 seconds for each glaze with SG 165-170, and it came out like this piece. Spraying has been a challenge. Each time the OS2 was sprayed too thin. Spray and wait till dry 3 times for the base, Oil spot 1. Then poured the Oil Spot 2. This is very informative and worth trying Frank Vickery's way (there is a .pdf attachment about midways on this page) ---> http://cone6pots.ning.com/forum/topics/6-oil-spot-mfa-thesis

Coffee mugs, soup mugs, bowls. The alumina is a bit low. Going to add 6.5% ball and test.

Thank You both.

Thank You sir for the magic of 2050*F.

It is scary how thick the glaze must be to get this effect. The oil spot 1 was sprayed on. Oil spot 2 was poured on - which was a first for me - never poured glaze onto a piece. Did 3 separate pours. Will cut it back to 2.

The look of this glaze reminds me of teadust glaze. It is very beautiful.

Are these shot glasses or glaze tests? They could be stacking, it looks like.

Dirty kitchen towel - not much on props for photos...Not yet, anyway

Thank You. Don't ya just love my photo prop?

Thank You Joseph. You know how it is, head down plugging away not really seeing the light of day. Then, all of a sudden and out of nowhere, the sun starts shining brightly illuminating the path. You said something to me a while back that has stuck with me. You said not to stop throwing and developing thrown work while testing glazes. It is easy to get caught up in the testing and tweaking. When you said it, that is exactly what I was doing - neglecting the throwing for the testing. Thank You
