More yellow

Here's 3 more tests from the last Cone 04 oxidation firing. All have my transparent glaze over, which was supposed to be a clear but wound up with some transparency. Ayumi's white slip is the base for all the slip colors. The tile on the left has about 3% rutile (I wet mixed a plain and a 6% rutile version), middle tile has about 3% mason Titanium yellow stain, also wet mixed with a plain version of the slip, and the far right tile has 6% of the Mason Titanium yellow stain.

I had to photoshop the photo to get close to the color. They're a bit lighter in color than shown, and the tiles have a lovely, buttery, gloss finish which isn't showing. The tile on the left is actually a lovely, off white, the middle one is a pale, warm yellow, and the far right one looks more like the middle one in person.

Yesterday studio time was very limited. More carrots had to get planted because 3 year old seeds that I didn't think were still viable, sprouted after pouring the rest of the packet on wet hand towel paper for a few days. Before planting I had to clean out a big bucket which had some deep, stems and roots that presented a challenge. A computer problem (yes, they are still ongoing), took away studio time. Seems my entire photo folder disappeared, and was no where to be found on my laptop. Fortunately I had a backed up copy on my stand alone hard drive. So I spent a lot of time dealing with that, cooking and other things.

Today I'll continue with more yellow slip tests for under my newest, and finally, successful, clear glaze test; but first, there's a hearty breakfast to make, and two grungy kitchen mats that need hand washing, before someone reports me to the health department.
