Here are a few examples of pieces with this enamel:
To obtain this "Eucalyptus Green" glaze, my starting point was my " Dandelion Flowers " glaze to which I added Cobalt in different proportions:
The middle test suits me, with its turquoise color and the appearance of bright green at the edge, combined with the maintenance of a small nucleation.
I try again, weighing the ingredients to obtain a finer result than before.
Indeed, for the previous test, as when testing from an existing base, the ingredients are not weighed. Instead, I take a volume of ready-made enamel and add the metal oxides to quickly see if a lead can be further developed. This is the case here, so a new trial centered on the middle sample:
I'm a bit disappointed. The blue has faded, as have the nucleations, and the enamel seems particularly runny. I select the right test and reduce the silica (left) and increase it (right):
We can clearly see the impact of silica on the flowability of the glaze and on the appearance of nucleations. In the end, the middle test is a good compromise.
I decided to test this recipe on a larger room:
The result doesn't look blue to me. I try again, adding more Cobalt:
The result is more in line with what I was looking for! I carry out my thickness test:
