Silicon Carbide and Strontium Crystal Magic

Here's some more tests with Silicon Carbide and Strontium Crystal Magic.

SCM (with Iron) plus 0.75% SiC, Hanna's Fake Ash, and Spotted Black. The two larger mugs also have Coyote Shino and Jen's Juicy Fruit. Everything came out really well except the Juicy Fruit seems to have left craters where it was thick. It did run really nicely. The pitcher is (Laguna Babu) Porcelain, the shots are a white stoneware (Mile Hi Birch), and the mugs are a dark brown stoneware (Mile Hi Firethorn)


SCM plus 1% SiC, Hanna's Fake Ash, and Water Color Green plus 1% Cobalt. For some reason, the camera turned dark green into dark yucky brown on the two outside pots. The cups are Mile Hi Cedar, the mugs are Firethorn.



SCM plus 1 % SiC, Hanna's Fake Ash, Coyote Shino, and Jen's Juicy Fruit (without Iron) on Firethorn.


Another test with sponge applied glaze on Firethorn. SCM plus 1% SiC, Hanna's Fake Ash, and Water Color Green plus 1% Cobalt. Once again, the camera decided to turn dark green into a yucky dark brown.
