Three more - the final three, at least for now - snowflake rabbits. I used the new crystalline glazes that I recently ordered for their robes. But I must say that I'm somewhat disappointed. The color chips on the website showed much more interesting results. These glazes are rated for a range of temperatures and I fired these pieces at the low end of the temperature range. So maybe I would have gotten better results if I had fired them hotter. There's just so much to know about firing!
But on a more positive note, I only used two (rather than three) coats of the Ivory Belleek glaze for the white on the rabbits and the large snowflake and I think it worked out better. The glaze didn't fill so much of the incised detail, leaving shadow to show the texture. Lesson learned!
