You learned some things. I love what you did with Tigers necklace and mine looks awesome! WOOHOO!! I can remember china painting a doll one time and she looked amazing. The dolls faces were always done with 3-4 different firings so you slowly built up color. I pulled out the doll after the last firing and her face looked like she had been in a fight. I learned that many times, less is more when it comes to china painting. I know it isn't the same as glazing, but thought you might be amused. I was lucky and able to remove the paint with WINK and start over. I love the fact that you are playing around and trying new things because that means that in the future you will be able to provide us with cooler and original finishes. Keep those experiments coming Dr. Wendy. :) Dale
