satin matte test cups, fresh out of the kiln โจ
I made these because Iโve been running into some consistency issues with underglazes on my frogs, and now that my frog and raccoon palettes are mostly locked in, it felt like the right moment to experiment ๐งช๐ธ๐ฆ
The hope here is a more one shot solution. Getting both color and surface in a single glaze pass, instead of underglazing in greenware and then clear glazing later.
The stone glaze is reading a little bluer than I expected, so the raccoon colors will definitely need some tweaking ๐ But I do think I landed on a really good match for my frogs. Soft, cozy, slightly weird, and still letting all that carved texture come through โจ
Exactly why I test. Tiny adjustments now so the finished pieces feel right later ๐ Thanks .ceramics for the inspiration!!!
