I just posted on our website some photos of the glazes we mixed up from Ron
and John's book. We tried Varagated Blue, Carrinean Sea Green, and Waxwing
brown. (Sorry if those names are not quite right, Mom has the book at her
house.)

they were tested on Wonder White clay made by Highwater. The insides were
poured, and the outsides brushed. three coats except for the bottom 1/2 inch
all the way around which was only two coats in case of running. In the
grooves it really wanted to run off, but none did.
It was fired to a hot cone 6 really slowly, (it's time for new elements.) At
cone 6 all switches were turned to medium for 4 hours. Then it cooled
naturally to 200 degrees. None look like the photos in the book, but we love
them!

They are the three at the bottom.
