Great to meet you as well!  I need to post current work.  I have gone back to dipping glazes since I was spraying outside and felt like it was environmentally not good.  I still love what SCM does to glazes, and am now working with mainly SCM and the watercolors, and some browns.  You can get crystal formations just from using the SH firing schedule, but the SCM really excites things under most any glaze. Your combinations are exquisite.

Michele,

Thanks for the nice comment. This is an old piece. Some of the first glaze mixing experiments before spraying.

Your work is very nice! Looks like you have been exploring with SH glazes for awhile. Great to meet you!

Absolute magic!  I love it when glazes behave like this. Thanks for "friend-ing" me, I really admire your work.
