I'm powering through this glazing round now that the more intricate mug designs are done - these lichen pendants were quicker than expected to glaze & I'm SO curious to see how they turn out once fired...I did some real experimenting with layering/butting-up glazes beside each other & I'm hoping it's neat!
Glazes used include a bunch from my two Coyote sample sets (Enduro colour glazes & cone 6 Shinos) plus a few from the Mayco 2023 new glaze sample set (ivy, riptide, coral gloss & fossil rock). I took pretty-ok notes, so I'll post these again once they're fired with some annotation, as they'll probably be the most interesting glaze pieces from this whole batch!
the result of my first experiment with glazing pottery! a bit shaky to be sure but I really enjoyed the process and I like how opaque the leaves turned out
Broke down and used viridian green today instead of sticking to layers of primary colors — trying to gauge just how much yellow to lay down, let dry, and then add blue is tricky with Prussian Blue which is a great pigment but REALLY concentrated.
Rembrandt's glowing effect is caused by layers of translucent pure color built up like panes of colored glass, so light penetrates and illuminates the paint from within instead of bouncing off the top. I fell in love with the effect, but waiting a week for each color to dry is soooo sloooooow.)
