Hi,

Thanks Craig and Steve for image help - please check 'em out here:

Descriptions have test compositions and both are on a well-vitrified white
stoneware. I'd appreciate any thoughts on what the differences might be
between the lines and fields. Is this plate tectonics writ small?

Thanks in advance for the brain cycles.

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for sharing the pictures. I got a similar effect but putting celadon=
=3D
over shino. If anyone is interested I can look up my notes as to which shi=
=3D
no and which celadon I used. I have not tried repeating it as yet, but am p=
=3D
lanning to do so, as I rather like it.

Are these the types of glaze effects you are after?

Thanks a lot for the image - I was thinking of magnesium carbonate to up
the crawling, but hadn't thought of just oxides underneath. I bet the
cobalt and iron help the islands slide around as well as help them melt
into the body better and the black of the manganese gives a contrast that
really pops.
Best,
Jeff

If you want to try a different approach.

July 2008 blue bottle.
Thinly trail CMC gum solution over iron slip or high
iron glaze in a netlike pattern. Magnesia blue glaze
over. The gum causes a partial resist, making the over
glaze gather on melting & then move slightly.
