Raku Is Not For The Anal Retentive

The two on the top are the original test tile for a dry raku glaze we picked up at NM Clay. I love the color. So.... Jim did some pieces in that glaze today. One of his masks blew up. You can see the blue metallic in one, and the other is a lot prettier in photo than in real life. In real life, it's gold metallic. 


The mask is also gold metallic. I love what the combustibles did to the texture. 


The trick is going to be to figure out what Jim did the first time with the test tile because I have a couple pieces that I want glazed the way the test tile came out.
