SEEnd Result included!🔥 Frozen Pond🩷— „Sangria Rutile“ Edition! With RHC dots and Blue Rutile as cover glaze for outside (& everything on white underglaze (UG)*💢) — and I LOVE the result!🤩
💢*But why apply white UG first to begin with? It proved in the past to make Spectrum Floating glazes a bit less of a runner, and ensures vibrant, purer colors (as my „white“ stoneware clay fires to a beige/yellowish color), and for the concentrated RHC dots, ensures that RHC doesn‘t dig through the base glaze to reveal the clay, instead revealing the vibrant glaze — and in all of this, it totally did its job! 😅👍 The White UG is not 100% necessary — the color difference is not as drastic with Sangria, in contrast to Kimchi, where the glaze is transformed to a totally different vibrant glaze if applied on white UG instead of directly on the „white“ stoneware clay. 🙂 But I also didn‘t want to take any chances, especially since I fired this one to cone 6 (!), not cone 5 as I usually do when using Spectrum Floating glazes as base glaze. It only worked nicely here because I used only 1x RHC & the cover glaze also only 1x. And of course thanks to the stilts.
In retrospect, I might have been a bit too cautious, a bit more RHC on the top part would’ve been ok, but I love the result, and it‘s nice to be able to see distinct dots.🥳
