Hi!
I uploaded pictures of the triaxial blend of crystal glazes I used my base. A 1 is my
base with nickel
B the same glaze with 2% cobalt oxide - too much but I wanted to see the effect
while blending.
C is My second crystal glaze 11 (In the blend #28)

My basic recipe, with nickel that I use for tests on different claybodies

You can see that in some cases when I applied at the bottom ( of the bowls) I got
there nicer crystals than inside.
