Joe - Thanks for the follow-up.  I just unfamiliar with this website.  Yesterday I signed  in just to ask questions.After sending the message I thought I remembered being interested in it because it was Cone 6 related. Well good , I can try this combination.  I think they are very nice.  I saw glaze effects like this in reduction with SCM.  That buttery warm collection of colors, great bowls. Bonnie

I sprayed the SCM on the interiors and then dipped the bowl. I fire cone 6 electric with a slow cool-down.

Hey there-  You were my first blog and you answered! Thanks.  So it's the warm SCM- maybe brushed and a complete dip with RRed.  Cone 10 w/ reduction?  Did I get it?  :)  Bonnie

SCM on the interiors and then dipped in Randy's red to a six count.
