The melon color is a very pale green and the outside turned that yellow which looks like the surface of a lemon, very strange, too bad the surface is gritty not so appealing on a soup or tea bowl.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-15241325769429836562010-01-29T00:13:46.809-05:002010-01-29T00:13:46.809-05:00Hello Linda,

I tried that before with the cone 10 clay but never cone 5/6, but what the heck it would be a fun experiment. It seems when I experiment I get some cool stuff. I am also going to try some cooked rice in a bowl too to see what that does.<br /><br />Hi Kitty, thanks, I was thinking of you when I typed silly kitty, and I also thought of miss kitty, but then I thought I might make some male cats and then I'd have to have miss kitty and mr kitty - not a bad idea, then I could have baby kitty too - kind of like the three bears but the three kitties. The satin clear is a commercial glaze. Gary keeps saying he likes shiny and I tend to like the satin or matt glazes since they don't reflect and aren't so brass looking. It is in my car next time I go out there I will look to see who makes it and let you know. I just brush it on with a small goat hair brush I got at a paint store. I do like it. I am using commercial glazes for my cone 5/6 because I don't want to mix up those since I have no room right now especially since I have all my cone 10 glazes in my car some mixed and some dry and all the other clay supplies and my kiln too, luckily I have a big SUV to hold it all.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-87768748457200318542010-01-27T13:37:16.762-05:002010-01-27T13:37:16.762-05:00S I L L Y K I T T Y indeed!
