Glaze tests, part 3

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

“Mystery Glaze #2″ is made up of what gets rinsed out of my glazing brushes.  Once there is enough “glaze sediment” in the bucket, I pour off the water and transfer the new glaze to a lidded container.  More water comes to the top and is poured out.

So far, Mystery Glaze #1 and #2 have been blue.  #1 was more of a dark denim blue, and #2 is more blue-gray.  I’m not holding my breath that Mystery Glaze #3 will be anything other than blue, but you never know!
