On this one I did away with the RIO & added Cobalt Carb. W/O my notes I would say about 1-2 %. I sprayed on the Blue/Amber first & then sprayed on the Creamy white Liner.
Yes, I would love try the recipe as well. Thanks
We would like to try the recipes if you don't mind.
Thanks. I am always searching for those spectacular patterned glazes. Great. Always look forward
to experimenting and trying something different.

I have never been able to produce this effect in oxidation with one glaze. I fired Floating Blue without iron oxide to C6 then applied a heavy sponged coat of FB base with rutile, tin, and copper carb then fired again to C6. Quick up and down. No holds. If you do just one firing you will get the varigation you see, but probably will turn an olive green pattern glaze. You will just have to try it and see. I am going to try some experiments to see if I can get it in one firing. I have been trying to find this glaze effect in ox for 30 years and just came across it trying to corrects some mistakes.
I love that glaze. What glaze are you using on this piece?

Harbor Freight is a great place to find unbeatable prices for better HVLP spray guns with stainless steel parts and serviceable economy models, as well as detail guns, all tested by our members for spraying glazes, as well as compressors to power the guns. As yet no one has tested and commented on the remarkably inexpensive air brushes at harbor freight.
The critter siphon gun is a spray alternative that is well liked by some of our members, and is available at amazon.
Amazon is also a competitive source for photo light tents for shooting professional quality pictures of your work. They also have the EZ Cube brand favored by several of our members. You might also want to purchase the book Photographing Arts, Crafts and Collectibles . . .
