I read Cone 10 will make them brighter so we shall see. I will post photos after they are fired. The blue bowl actually looks much better in person than it does in the photo. Be sure to see my post tomorrow, I have embellished the butterflies on the wall pocket with more slip.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-85201393026903889932009-02-09T23:12:00.000-05:002009-02-09T23:12:00.000-05:00I really like the soft slip colors.

Then I rolled small coils of each color into the white clay. It looked pretty bland after the bisque and I didn't like the powdery cone 5 porcelain, so I put it all aside as a failed experiment. Several weeks later a piece of this clay with stains found its way under another pot to catch any possible drips and was fired to cone 5. Then the colors were more beautiful than I thought they would be and I want to try again using another white clay.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-76753291779065786482009-02-09T19:54:00.000-05:002009-02-09T19:54:00.000-05:00Hi Mel, thanks I think I am going to put a clear o...Hi Mel, thanks I think I am going to put a clear over this. I may have to do some research as I would like a matt clear for this bowl if possible.<BR/><BR/>Hi Gary, thanks I am having a lot of fun doing these, but they are time consuming.<BR/><BR/>Hi Pinkiss, thanks I made slip from the same porcelain clay body and then added mason stains, see my previous post. I have decided to embelish the butterflies on the wall pocket and I will post on that tomorrow, so check back.<BR/><BR/>Hi Mary, thank you so much. I am having fun with this, check tomorrow to see more about the wall pocket; it's looking kind of victorian looking which wasn't what I set out to do but it's ok with me. He he, sometimes the clay does what it wants to do.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-12889595740265136682009-02-09T16:39:00.000-05:002009-02-09T16:39:00.000-05:00OOOOHhhh I love the butterfly wall vase holder thi...OOOOHhhh I love the butterfly wall vase holder thingy!

I think clear would be a nice choice, especially because it is a porcelain bowl! I've been experimenting with slip for the past semester and am always eager to see what other people do with it!<BR/><BR/>Make sure to post some pictures of your barrel firing :)Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08812345171503944294noreply@blogger.com
