This is a flower ring - I should have put some flowers in it to show how it looks in use, for people who aren't familiar with them. I'll do that and take a picture. But for now I wanted to show off this glaze, reminds me of a "hare's fur" glaze at higher temperatures and in reduction atmosphere.
Below is a 5 to 6 cup casserole dish. That bigger green one behind, to the left, looked great except for all the running blobs at the bottom !
This is another casserole, much bigger and harder to show how the brush worked turned out . Looks better in person as it has a nice flowing design, makes a person want to keep turning it to see where the design goes. Makes me want to take better pictures !
Small vase or pencil holder with funky flowers. The flowers just have a barnard stain brushed on them, I didn't want to obscure the texture with glaze. And no, the table isn't crooked, my eyes are !
Bigger vase, more funky flowers.
Small plate. Deep texture with copper wash brushed onto the bisque and then a satin matt over all.
Really large squared handbuilt bowl with handles. Love this glaze and the way it pools into texture.

Hi Trish, Yes, MC6 is the best glaze chemistry resource for this temperature range .
We are still seeding ! First it was too dry and we were running off to fight fires. Then came rain and snow and now water laying in the fields. We've had to change crop rotation plans - too late to put in any more canola so it's on to barley. I should have taken a picture for the blog yesterday... 360 hp 4wd tractor stuck in the mud up to it's axels. Yeesh, I'd rather be potting !
Did you get the snow Calgary got a few days ago ?
You're so talented!! Love love LOVE the vases!
