Could any of you describe any of the following 8 glazes in
terms of interest, gloss, shade of blue or whatever and whether
you have had good luck with it. Thank you so much. These came
off of Don's web page. Thank you Don for collecting these and
making them available. I downloaded the file and reformatted in
Word 7.0 so that I could fit them on 22 pages. If anyone wants
this Word document, I'll send it.
