Hi P...Hi Meredith, thanks, tea's a good thing.<br /><br />Hi Patti, thanks, for some reason I like doiing silhouettes.<br /><br />Hi Yolanda, thanks, I'll have to get some tile cutter. I got on one site and one was over $50, yikes. I mix mostly by eye since I am only mixing in my baby food jars for the color, so that is 2.5 ounces of slip to about 1/4 to 1/3 teaspoon of stain. For the second set of tiles I brushed the stain directly on the clay with a brush, not sure what will happen.<br /><br />Hi Michele, thanks, I still don't have an idea of how the colors will look after they are fired, each time and each clear it's different.<br /><br />Hi Anne, thanks, I think blogger had them for a while, but I finally got around to discovering it, funny how we humans tend to stick to the same old thing. I changed to one post at a time because it was taking too long to download, for some reason explorer for me downloads each photo every time I need to get a computer guy over here to fix that, maybe I can change it to a week or something I'll look and see. I started comprssing with a rib, I'll have to check that insulation board out when I go to the store again, is it absorbent?<br /><br />Hi Mary, thanks, then there are the two firings and the glazing too, ceramics is time consuming that's for sure.<br /><br />Hi Trish, thanks, these are so thick I think their own weight will keep them down, except the teapot one, I'll have to keep an eye on it, but I can't put a board with the slip on them till that dries. Always have to keep checking them in all the closets around here.

Glad to see blogspot is keeping up. <br /><br />I noticed today I can only view one of your posts at a time. Before I could scroll down through your posts in sequence. Did you change a settings?<br /><br />Tiles are looking good, Linda. I used to make a lot of raku tiles up to 16 inches across. Found that if I compressed them really well with a rib in all directions, it *helped* in combating warping. We used that blue or pink insulation board a lot (its lighter than wall board). Not sure if its 'better', but it seemed to work okay for us.Anne Whttp://www.webbpottery.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-76029848349813671672011-02-03T09:31:56.729-05:002011-02-03T09:31:56.729-05:00i like the look of that teapot tilei like the look of that teapot tileMichèle Hastingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11346907762804197879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-67127911140574667132011-02-03T09:18:18.773-05:002011-02-03T09:18:18.773-05:00Love the colorful tiles Linda!

I got mine at Aadvark years ago, and it's made of sturdy copper. what percentage of MS you used to mix with slip?
