really cool!
The purple didn't come through in the pic here. It looks more black and white. I would love to find a stable purple underglaze!!!!

Wish you could see it in person! I tlooks So good in teh sun. I was afraid it mighr darken, but then it IS a dark glaze.
What about the Concepts underslaze? Yeah, tehy ar e mailoica colors, but still..I use theri light purple a lot on my colored fairie coins.

I hace tried them. The red is really great but the purple still sucks when used with a clear glaze. It still streaks with light and dark. Not even colors at all. I have tried using a light gray as an under color for it and putting several layers on but it still is uneven. I cringed evey time I had to do a plate or goblet with purple!Knowing it wouldn't come out to my liking.

I really like that shino a lot. Would it bother you if I picked up some of those glazes from Coyote as well? I really want a shino that looks gas fired. I also saw one on their size that is aqua with texture (I think) that might be good for my steampunk tiles I was thinking of doing later in the year. I really want to find a mat sea foam green with some rusty, industrial glazes. Something that would pass for 60's colors. Do you know what I mean?

Wouldnt bother me a bit! 8-)
I am glad you like them...I am getting a gal of the shino, for sure!
A warning..they might not exactly come out as portrayed on theri test tiles..differant firng techniques, differant clays underneath the glazes..etc. Handling can make a differance..BUT they wont be THAT off, either!
I myself like the differances, an dam pleased with the out come. Espcially the shino!\
I agrre with you in tha tregard..damn near looks reduced!
That IS a thin application: one fast dip. ADN it was on teh Sedona Red clay.

Do you add any water to the glazes or just as is? Those are usually brush on glazes, aren't they?

I like a lot of the colors on their website. I took a look yesterday and saw a few that might be interesting to try like the yellow and that aqua (like I mentioned). Some are pretty expensive but others aren't so bad. I want to think about it a bit and get some more stock up before I start getting new glazes though.

No water was needed, and I brush 3 lawers on the shino tester, and single dipped teh mugs with the shino.
I have included a list of all Coyotes glaze characteristics and application..it is most helpful.

Youre quite welcome! 8-)
Actually, I like being able to show my friends at a long distance whats going on in my studio, how the work is going.
These new glazes are gonna be a real step forward, I think, for what I am doing. I am eager to se ehow the shino loks on my more texturally involved pieces, like the ring oil lamps. Or the goblets.
