Oh, wow! I love the An Jas w MC Bone. I use MC Iron Red w AJ. Unfortunately, shipping from Minn is very expensive to CA. I have almost all the PC glazes & some I really like & others I'm still working on. Don't have any pics right now. One of the problems I have is glaze thickness. Since I'm a hand-builder I have lots of texture which tends to get obliterated w 4 cts of glaze. I'm trying to find an answer to this problem.

<p> I have Obsidian, Iron & Storm from Amaco that I am going to use with Donna's White as the fourth glaze & put a bunch of the PC glazes over the top of all 4 just to see what they'll do. Amaco's website shows the layers with Obsidian & Iron, but not Storm, but I thought it would be a good one to add. And the Donna's White with rutile was a no-brainer to add to the mix. So the plate will be divided into 4 sections and about a dozen of the PC glazes will be put over all 4.…</p>

<p>There's also a FB page for Potter's Choice glazes where you can see many combos. After seeing many of Amaco's ads, I had to buy a few. I already use Ancient Jasper. I bought it in powder form and mix with brushing medium. I either pour or brush it on and have gotten beautiful results. I love to use it with MC6 Bone either dipped or brushed on rims. Here's an example of AJ brushed on with the top dipped into Bone From MC6. I also recently purchased a few pints, but am hesitant to keep buying…</p>

Here's an example of AJ brushed on with the top dipped into Bone From MC6. I also recently purchased a few pints, but am hesitant to keep buying them, as they are quite spendy and take quite a long time to dry. What I have been doing is some test tiles of various glazes, layered over one another. Some are from MC6, some are commercial. I'm getting ready for a show, but will post some pics when I return home. The second photo has a plate with "Copperhead" from Minnesota Clay, with Bone brushed on rim. I love what Bone does over other glazes. Also, I look at Amaco's PC glaze combos, and look at glazes I already have, then layer them in a similar way. IE, MC6's Variegated Blue looks a lot like PC's Rutile Blue. And Cream Breaking Red that I mix myself looks a lot like Albany slip Brown, so I tested them and love the result. I will post when I have some time.</p> Don't refire Amaco Seaweed or…tag:cone6pots.ning.com,2014-08-07:2103784:Comment:1104932014-08-07T06:26:54.164ZNorm Stuarthttps://cone6pots.ning.com/profile/NormStuart

<p>I recently tested Potter's Choice Indigo Float over Firebrick on a Standard 112 clay. The results were similar to the same glazing I did on B-Mix 5. Beautiful contrast of colors....2 coats of Firebrick and drizzled indigo float. Took a (bad) photo and posted to my page here. I've learned to "love" the fan brush! </p>
<p>Thank you Mary Kay, for the suggestion to layer Seaweed....I'll try that.</p>

<p>Thanks for the update Brent. I don't think my clay is reacting, I think I just don't like the color!!! Have someone who works at Amaco would be cool to chime in would be cool!! I like that Amaco has a decent website and shows some combos. I wish they had those sheets on alll their colors. I have tried to replicate what they have done without the same results which was frustrating. At that time I was brushing my glazes. I have since started spraying so maybe I should try again.</p>
