To obtain this "Dandelion flowers" glaze, I started with my " Lychee" glaze. In fact, this very clear enamel has a good quantity of Titanium, so I wanted to observe the range of colors I could develop from this base.

I therefore carried out tests by weighing the same quantity of " Litchi " glaze (already prepared) and adding different oxides in different proportions. This imprecise method has the advantage of enabling me to carry out a large number of tests quickly, without having to do a lot of weighing. Following these tests, the most interesting ones, if any, can be confirmed by going back to the weighing method.

Here is the result of this first test, with the addition of Copper Oxide in various proportions:

I really like the third sample. So I decide to try again by actually weighing each raw material to determine the right amount of Copper Oxide for each:

The fourth sample is my favorite! However, the glaze seems very runny. I then make a progression of Silica:

The first sample selected, I then decided to make an Alumina progression using Kaolin :

I keep the medium sample and proceed with my thickness test:
