Pinch Pot Process (March 17, 2015)

I finally glazed my elephant. Originally, I planned on mixing glazes together to create a more unique effect. I thought about using these combinations.





However, I didn't read the sheet clearly and put too many layers of the base glaze. I thought about just adding more of the top layer of glaze, but apparently, too many layers of glaze can cause the glaze to peel off. So, I just stuck with the one color of glaze. I applied "blue midnight" (fired cone 5-6) onto the elephant 3 times (3 layers). Well, a blue elephant will match the mood of a timid, possibly blue (sad) elephant.
