Recently, Sandy Miller reminded me that I have forgotten to post Humpty Dumpty ready for the kiln.
I am using Mason stains mixed 50/50 with frit #3124 and water to get the brushing consistency I want. I treat the encapsulated reds a bit differently and mix 25/25/50 gerstley borate, frit #3124, and stain. Again I vary the water depending on how thin or opaque I want the color. Adding the gerstley borate makes the stain work more like a gouash than a watercolor.
Blogger is being weird about my posting so I will just wish every one a sunny day.
As always, thanks for stopping by.....*s*
wow, love all the detail, can't wait to see when fired, why do you use the gerstley with the red ?
ReplyDeleteHi Linda....Thanks. The GB/frit combo makes the red brush smoothly. Encapsulated reds tend to clump on the surface when mixed with frit only.
DeleteHumpty is just the best :) !!
ReplyDeleteHi Sandy....Thanks.
