Glazing...with Potters Choice Glazes!

 

 

I'm getting ready to glaze my maple leaves...

 

 

in some fall colors!

 

 

 

 

 

This is the orange glaze I use...PC-52 Deep Sienna Speckle. 

For some reason, my pieces come out darker than this,

but I really like it. I love Potters Choice Glazes!

 

They're user friendly and very consistent.

 

 

 

 

This is the red glaze I use...PC-59 Deep Firebrick. 

I call it autumn red...for my leaves, and on my dinnerware.

For my hearts, I call it Vampire Red...because it looks like blood! 

When I fire this red, it always comes out darker than these test tiles.

 

I'm glad though, I like it better!

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm going to glaze some in this color...PC-23 Indigo Float.

I usually just call it Indigo, or Cobalt Blue.

I love this glaze!

 

 

 

 

This is the Indigo, fired in my kiln. 

This one comes out darker than the test tiles too.

 

It's a beautiful blue!

 

 

 

 

I'm going to try some in this color...PC-20 Blue Rutile.

I've only used it once, on a small leaf...so I'm looking forward

to trying it on something a little larger.

 

 

 

 

This one is darker too, but I like it.

 

 

 

 

Going to glaze a few in this color...PC-29 Deep Olive Speckle.

 

 

 

 

And I'm going to do a few in this color combination...

PC-30 Temmoku over PC-29 Deep Olive Speckle. 

I've tested these two already, and it came out good.

Just not sure how it works with texture?

The test tile I used was plain. I'm too impatience to test it again.

 So, I'm just going to try it on a leaf and see what happens.

 

 

 

 

Going to do some in this color combination...

PC-41 Vert Lustre over PC-29 Deep Olive Speckle.

I've used this color combination several times,

 this is what it looks like when I fire it in my kiln...

 

 

 

 

It's great on texture!

 

 

 

 

I'm going to try this color combination...

PC-52 Deep Sienna Speckle over PC-29 Deep Olive Speckle. 

Hope it looks something like this? I like it,

I think it would look nice on some leaves.

It'll probably be a little darker though,

since all the other glazes come out darker.

 

We'll see!

 

 

 

 

This color combination...

PC-53 Ancient Jasper over PC-29 Deep Olive Speckle.

Might be nice to try. I think it would look good

on some autumn leaves. What do you think?

 

 

 

 

 I'm definitely going to try some in this glaze...

PC-55 Chun Plum. I have two bottles,

and haven't tried it yet. I'm just going to go ahead

and glaze some leaves without testing it first.

 But I will do a test tile with texture,

so I can see how it reacts with the texture.

 

 

 

 

 I'm not sure if I should try this glaze...

PC-60 Salt Buff. I have a bottle,

and haven't tried it yet.

If I put it on a little heavy...hopefully it will

look like the test tile on the right.

Still haven't decided if I should just go ahead

and try it, or do a test tile first?

 

Maybe I should test it first!

 

 

 

What do you think about these colors?

 

 

Which one is your favorite?

 

 

I'd love to know what you think!
