Now I've seen everything. We are talking about velvet painting on
clayart. These wouldn't happen to be velvet paintings of Elvis would
they??

Hi Elizabeth;

Thanke for the reply.

Can you elaborate a bit on this technique? Do you mean painting the
velvet
with a bit of base glaze before bisque?

I had just make some test tiles: mixing stain with a little bit of base
glaze and paint with the aid of water and glycerine (before going to
bisque)
, because I have the same problem with some stains not being fully
melted
with the top transparent glaze. Still experimenting.
