Turtle Painting on porcelain

 This is my first attempt at painting with under-glazes.  While not a fan of how it turned out I realize there is a learning curve.  So.. On to the next experiment!

The Happy Reds and Yellows... Not So Happy Purples.

So happy with the clear glaze I created..  Gotta love Chemistry!  A perfect fit for the porcelain I'm using and super transparent with a lovely gloss. 
 
  As posted before I have been testing colors for this years pottery.  I'm quite pleased with the reds and yellows.  The peacock to purple transitions.. well not so much. 

  Though now that I have a road map for colors I'm pretty excited to start the dreaded glazing part of the process.  Would love to sit back and just make pots all day, glazing well again.. not so much.

Glaze Test Tiles

Since I'm not doing shows right now I've been using the spare time to play with glazes and decoration.    Changing clay bodies means, especially with porcelains, having to alter the glazes to fit the new clay body.  Now that I don't have crazing..  I have been working on colors.
  Just pulled these test tiles out of the kiln and did the happy dance.  I'm sure that a few of the colors will end up on pots this year.
