Sponged Cone 6 1/2 SCM/SiC

This is sponge applied Strontium Crystal Magic+1% Silicon Carbide with Jenn's Juicy Fruit, Water Color Green, and Hanna's Fake Ash sponged over. Some of the pots also had a little Spotted Black (yellow in the "before" pics). Like the last batch I "sanded" the glaze with a paper towel when it was still just barely wet. These are all on a brick-red Cone 5-7 clay called Flagstone from Mile Hi Ceramics and were thrown and bisque fired in January 2010. I got pinholes and very small craters on all of these, so I think it's probably better to avoid the SiC at less than Cone 8 unless you're using porcelain.

The liner for the two inside cups is Mayco Cinnabar, the two outside pots are lined with Coyote Clay Saturated Iron.

These are all lined with MC6G Raw Sienna.
