*An experiment with a few shades of fusing glass that had been cut and roughly arranged at the bottom of this bowl. I believe the glass is Bull's Eye but there is a slim chance that some may be Urboros. The glaze is a light blue celadon on grolleg porcelain. I will try to find the recipe for the light blue celadon or one close to it. Blue fused glass

*This experiment resulted from me seeking a replacement for one of the studio glazes that had settled to a rock hard state (Electric Blue). This is one of the versions I came up with. What I did here was waxed the bottom with random slashes, dipped in Long Beach Blue, waxed slashes inside the bowl and dipped again in Bruno's White. The picture doesn't show it very well, but the effect is as if paper had been crinkled, dipped into blue glaze and dabbed once or twice onto a white bowl. Bruno's White on Beach Blue.

*This is a glaze that I had found online called Dragonfly Raku. The first picture is what it looks like when it's been oxidized and fired to ^10. The following pictures, when I get them up are the test tiles and one bowl that went through a raku firing. High fired Dragonfly

*Higby Blue Water was a raku glaze that used to be a studio glaze but has since disappeared. This was an experiment I did in my first quarter of ceramics. It has a rather interesting appearance akin to what happens with fused glass in my bowls. The picture doesn't show this well, but the darker part in the center is a transparent dark turquoise. The colours usually don't show up very well under incandescent lighting. The best view is a certain angles in the sun with or without water in the bowl. I do have an example of this glaze from a raku firing but I don't have a pic of it yet.Higby Blue Water in high fire.

*One of my experiments run a-foul...Pearl Chun over a bowl glazed with Oribe Green. It's not so much the colours but the fact that the bowl had carvings under some of the Pearl Chun which now have disappeared except for a few spots peeking out here and there. Pearl Chun on Oribe bowl

*This one with Rutile Blue over Oribe Green isn't as bad as the Pearl Chun mentioned above. However, the Rutile Blue still fills in the spiral carving at the bottom of the bowl. I have a more recent experiment with Rutile Blue over Oribe. This time it's on a vertical surface lacking carvings. I think I may have overlapped a small portion of it with Ohata as well. I will have pics of this later. Oribe and Rutile Blue bowl

*This is the Raku Black from among the studio glazes at my high school(all this is mentioned in Page 3, I believe). I had a few other pieces using the same glaze but this was the only one that captured the nice copper flashes. If you must know, this detail shot is on the side of a ceramic doumbek (drum) that I made. The claybody is the Raku Clay from Seattle Pottery Supply. Raku Black detail

*These are details of two seperate pieces. The first is of a torching experiment that I tried out to try to bring out some colour in a piece glazed with Copper Sand or some similar semblence of it and the second is the bottom of another drum I made in high school glazed with Raku Blue. Not a lot of blue shows up in this spot though. For those who haven't tried using a propane torch to try bringing out colours in your dull raku pieces, be forewarned that colour can come out quite nicely but it will be in patches. Raku torching 1.

This is one of two experiments I did with outlining a relatively complex picture out of wax resist and glazing portions of it seperately.

The background is Rhode's Black, the body is Opaque Blue Matte (picture doesn't show it very well), Inside the wing is Light Blue Celadon (didn't turn out very well), Eye is Ohata, horns and claws are Bruno's White.

Um. I will finish the rest later. If you want to just take a look at the pieces to come, feel free to do so. I will write explanations later. They're rather self explanatory though if you're familiar with the glazes.
