Experiment Results

In this article is how they arrived out right after currently being fired this previous time.  Are you shocked?  I know I was even though I know that firings can modify a piece a ton.  And greatest of all, I am happily stunned.  Here is the listing once again of what I did to the parts.

Here is what I did, starting up at the prime–going from left to suitable
1. Brown daisies stained with iron oxide–2 loop pendant
2.  Daisy cabochon stained with iron oxide and then lightly coloured with a crimson glaze on the petals and a blue glaze on the center and flippantly apparent glazed
3. Spherical cabochon stained with  cobalt and included with distinct glaze ( left facet of plate) That was a miscalculation.  No cobalt stain, just hand painted with quite a few colors of glazes.
4. Stick pendant stained and then partially painted with a orange glaze and a mild coat of crystal clear
5. Rustic snail pendant glazed in a pink brown.
6. 2  hole pendant stained with iron oxide and evenly colored with many glazes and then a gentle crystal clear glaze additional–backyard graphic
7. Lover of Daisy petals  rustic cabochon stained with iron oxide and then lightly very clear glazed just on the petals.
 (compact stained tab piece–from a broken pendant I failed to include in this photo– it came out rather blah!!) A person factor I did see is that the clear glaze considerably lightens the oxide colour and will make it pretty much pale.
8. Donut with frivolously colour glazed small leaves and some other places.  No apparent glaze.
Most of the pieces have been fired very first with just the iron oxide glaze–just after they have been bisqued so when I fireplace these parts it was for the 3rd time.

I have a several much more experiments to do.  Like tumbling some beads I stained with iron oxide and attempting out some new clays.  Will post them when I do them but it may possibly be awhile.
Thanks for stopping by.
Delighted New Year!!
