I was excited to get the red color on the top left flower. These red flowers are the glazed version of the white bisque ones I had on my bead table last week. It took some fancy mixing to get that rich of a red. The red flower below is not quite the color I was hoping for. The round blue colored pendant in the right hand corner is made with porcelain frost clay. This is the first porcelain pendant I have glazed with my cone 06 glazes. The colors are fine. Mayco states on their bottles that their colors are not changed by the higher temp of cone 6. Seems to be true in this case. I do notice though that the details of the image are significantly softened by the higher firing temperature.
Here is a close up of the flower

Thank you for stopping by.
I love the richness of the red color and also that there is some variation in tone which I find appealing.
