~janie Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 I want/need/desire/MUST HAVE a nice, clear, ^6 yellow glaze! I don't want a mustard yellow, or a poster board yellow. I want Buttercup yellow, or (pale?) Lemon yellow, something "pretty". I have not been able to find a recipe for such a glaze, so am I seeking the impossible? I have a project in the process, but this color is driving me nuts, and keeping my project on hold. Wait.....maybe I was already nuts..... I would appreciate any help.

Marcia Selsor Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 I just posted a yellow teapot on my gallery with a recipe. It can be intensified by reducing the zircopax and playing with the rutile and vanadium stain. You can probably do without the vanadium because isn't isn't food safe,and increase the rutile. The zircopax made it creamier. Vanadium is considered toxic so do not use on surfaces in contact with food. Marcia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~janie Posted December 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 I think this is what I am looking for! Thank you so much, and thanks for the suggestions on altering the recipe, too! ~janie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorie Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 Thanks Marcia. I'm excited to try this soft, yellow glaze. I also appreciate your postings in general even when it doesn't apply to me at the moment. :0) dorie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
