This blog post is really more for me but you are welcome to gleam whatever you want from it. I need a way to document and keep track of the different glazes and the results.
For this bowl I used Textured Amber brown (TAB) 2 base coats. Then Overlapping stripes of Seaweed (S) and Ancient Jasper (AJ) 2 coats.

This bowl has 3 coats of Deep Firebrick Red (DFR) and 1 coat of AJ and S dripped on rim.
For this bowl I did x 2 base TAB and stripes not overlapping of Oatmeal x 2, dark green x 2, Smokey Merlo x 2, Red x 2 and Iron Lustre x 2. You really can't tell that I used different colors, so I won't be doing this combination again.
The glazes on this bowl are my glazes Robin's egg blue with Bermuda blue gaze around the rim
I used my own dipping glaze for the base coat of this bowl, Floating blue. Then (IL) x 2 and 0 on the rim. I also used Mayco's product Cascade on the rim. The cascade gave really nice effects with blending.
I believe this is TAB x 2 base and AJ x 2.
I love love this big fruit bowl, it is 11 1/2" in diameter which is fairly big for a slab bowl. It is hard to see in this picture but there are some spots that look metallic gold.
This bowl is the same combination that I used previously. x2 TAB base coat, overlapping stripes of AJ x 2 and Seaweed x2.
I also love the simplicity of this bowl 3 coats of FBR.
I didn't really like how this one turned out. The base coat is my dipping glaze, black. The stripes are Seaweed x2 and my floating blue glaze that I carefully poured on. Then in between the two colors I used some Cascade. The cascade did not react well with my Floating blue glaze and I had some crawling but I was able to add some glaze to the bare spots and refire.
I used my black glaze as the base coat, I poured it on. I also used Floating blue on the rim, poured on. 1 coat of Oatmeal on the rim with some cascade randomly painted around the rim.
I am really not sure what this is because it looks nothing like what I would expect but my book says it is 2 x TAB base and 2 x Oatmeal. Why there is purple I don't know, the mystery of glaze combining.
This bowl is 2 x Dark Green base 2 x AJ
I really like this combination. 2 x TAB base, 2 x IL from rim to 3/4 down and 2 x Oatmeal from rim 1/2 down. Hope that makes sense!
This is again my Sea Mist glaze. Robin's egg blue poured on base and Bermuda blue poured along the rim.
Please take some time and give me some feedback, I love getting comments!
