Above:
White Crawl Pendant: Glaze applied very thickly (dipped).
Croc Crawl Pendant Pair: The one at left had thicker application than the one at the right.
Blue Crawl Pendant: Glaze was medium thick at the top, getting thicker at the bottom which produced richer blue tones and wider cracks.
Underglazes Have Been Getting Their Share of Attention
The vase below (stolen from Mike) was painted with Violet, Red Orange and Black underglazes with a few accents of White and Yellow. Interior was poured with Coyote Cone 6 Glaze in Violet.
Finally, the test tile below was a combo of Crawl glazes and underglaze. The tile was basecoated with Black underglaze, then had alternating swaths of White Crawl, Croc Crawl, White Crawl, Blue Crawl and, finally, more White Crawl to create a really interesting texture. There are additional test tiles in the kiln now so stay tuned for more fun with glazes.
That is the look I was going for! Instead I got something less expected and ugly. Can you tell me whose underglaze you used with the crawl glaze? And did you apply the underglaze and fire the piece, then apply the Coyote Crawl again? My test tiles worked fine but the piece with underglaze and the crawl glaze did not.
