Tomato Red Variation with Spodumene

 

 

The glaze on the left is the spodumene variation of Pete's Tomato Red, the glaze on the right is a blend of 2 parts Jen's Juicy Fruit with 3 parts of Pete's Tomato Red 13.

 

The test tiles below are the dabbed with lowfire cone 06 glazes and then fired 300° higher than recommended to cone 6. Notice that most of them stay put pretty well and only the first one starts to move a bit. The lowfire glazes I tried were Duncan's Sunset Red 1004, Sax's Shiny Black, Amaco's LUG-1 an underglaze black and a few other orange Duncan glazes. Test the lowfire glazes you have, some of them might be winners. I had no success with the greens and blues I tested as they were all too runny, but they did look good over Post's 244 Fat White glaze.
