Glaze Test Results

My original plan for the textile design on the hand was to use a spray gun to apply Sudee blue, and then wax resist the design over and apply a couple of layers of Varda’s Brown. That is what these test tiles were investigating. I dipped them and varied the thickness, but there is not much of a noticeable change.

I also tested some glazes for the recesses. These are blue Majolica and Sudee Yellow dipped twice. The one on the right has a layer of suede yellow underneath the Majolica.

This is an under-glaze pencil test tile, but I painted on the sudee yellow which made it smear some. The best application of glaze for under-glaze pencil is with a spray gun or dipping.

My test tiles for the decals I used on the base started out ink black, but after the firing they came out a reddish color (because of the iron in the ink?). White Majolica was applied underneath.
