New Test Tile System - I just can't remember what "Harvest Plains" looks like. Is it lighter that "Saffron Silk". I need test tiles of all my glazes but where do you put them so they are out of the limited workspace but still readily available? Then something short-circuited in my brain and I had an idea! Round test tiles to be glued to the top of my glaze bottles. I dug through the kitchen and found a cookie cutter just the right size. I'll keep you posted.
(EDIT) I'm thinkin' a spot of silicon will stick them to the plastic lid yet be removable when it's time for a new jar)

Since I'm not "burdened" with having to make stuff to sell for Oasis :D , I'm working on my Menu Art Swap piece, the Skipper Kent's Polynesian Genie. Seems to be turning out OK.

The menu art is lighted from below, but a mug usually isn't. So I'll have try to glaze highlights and shadows using 3 shade monochrome scheme. I made up a quick 6 inch "test tile" to try it out.

We'll see :)

We can live beside the ocean
Leave the fire behind
Swim out past the breakers
And watch the world die.
