Almost there? I guess if you aren't sure what I'm talking about then that means I'm further than I thought G

Pretty much more or less

It's pretty incredible how somewhat small changes in the materials, or the temp reduced at, can make a huge difference.

I'm trying to completely whiten the bg, (it's a little tiny bit light yellow green) and push the crystals to a bright orange. The orange is starting to come out in the crystals near the bottom. I just need to pull it up the pot more and brighten and intensify it. I fluxed the glaze out a little in this last test which I guess was the wrong direction to go because I mostly got the pink crystals near the top.

I'm pretty excited about this one. I've been working at it probably the longest of all my glaze attempts, with much failure. It has definitely been the hardest, and has never really showed any promise until recently. I'm all out of bisqued porcelain pots (it likes the porcelain better) so i've been on a little break but i have some more ready to go in soons the glaze catchers are dry.

Im pretty confident Ill get really really close very soon. When I get there ill put up another pic, as well as sort of a timeline with the stepping stones from where I started (with this time attempting it) and where I got.

Greg:

Any chance you can repost with a closeup? Part of your current pic looks glossy, other parts look matte. I see colors in one place, sorta blurry in others. Sure it is this old monitor: just a bit fuzzy on my end. Great looking form though: just need to see it close up.
