I spend my mornings drinking coffee and going through the gallery postings. I encourage all members to check out recent postings. The recent work posted by Pugaboo, Giselle, Joseph, 1515Art, and others is really impressive.

Pug- I would say you found your artistic voice. A very pleasant, creative, imaginative, fun, and colorful voice!!! -

Wish I had some artistic talent, but I do not. Great detailing work. -
Always interesting to see what a "natural" firing produces. -

Interesting Roberta, I am curious about the form details. Did you put the lines in to catch glaze run, for aesthetics, or both? I like the effect of the copper increasing in color depth as it runs: nice touch. Very nice indeed! -
Have a poundeach of macaloid and VeeGum-T coming. Test these for now and figure out a technical grade later.

You have the beginnings of making a niche market for yourself. Very unusual to see this type of work in the clay arts: which makes it all the more desirable. Will be watching to see where you take this skill set. -
I like the playfulness and vibrancy of these pieces. I generally shy away from primary colors in general: but these work for me. Good detailing on all your pieces. Should be proud of your work-very well executed. -
Joseph: yes I am in fact: usually I am not. Only thing I need to do is dial in the ramp hold temp to produce round floret crystals. T10 is a tank, the tile did not warp, which is common with standard porcelain. There is a distinct difference in field color as you noted: the standard cone 10 has much higher iron content. Going to throw some V-gum in and send you down a batch to play with. More than curious to see how your celadon works on it. -
From the album: Clay Tests
Small test tile is formula T10 Coma Clay-crystal size 2.5". Bottom is cone 9 on regular Laguna porcelain- crystal size 1.75". Note also the clarity of the field color, and glaze checking is resolved.© TJA2016

I mixed 10lbs of Coma Clay, bisq yesterday. Pull them out of the kiln, slather some glaze on them, fire em up. First time to seriously test crystal results.

Marcia: results posted in Glaze Chemistry thread under "Coma Clay." You will enjoy them.
-
not sure what coma clay is but becarefull you do not fall into one
-
Mark: Coma is the name I gave my custom porcelain tile recipe. Coma as in - no memory.

I really like the form, detail, decoration, and execution in this piece. Very nice! -
Could not agree more Mark- beautiful work. -
Same thing here, good color shift from vibrant to soothing. Easy to imagine combinations with whites, greens, blues, and pastel variations of tans. -
Still trying to wrap my head around that myself. Do not have a real explanation at the moment- very odd indeed. -
Love the granite look this firing produced- good job. -
Lee: Next time you run this glaze, try adding 0.25 up to 0.50% alumina, it will help greatly with glaze flow. Crystalline glaze is extremely fluid by nature. I like the softness of this piece, good work! Tom -
Roberta: fired in with the other examples shown. The only logical reason I can come up with is the NEO has a very high COE in and of itself. Trying to track some info on it, TY for the kind words. -

5% Neodymium (rare earth). Color typical, however COE issue created for some reason.© TJA 2016

3% Nickel ox plus 1/2% manganese. Complete color shift, blue crystals not present.© TJA 2016

From the album: Clay Tests
Coma Clay: 3% copper carb plus 0.25% cobalt ox. Colorants flipped: typically the field would be more blue and the crystals green.© TJA2016

There is something about this piece that draws me into it. A sense of illusion that makes me question my perception. Which is why I like it so much. Great work!!
