The Concept glazes will override each other which is wonderful. So doing it this way when some of the caramel glaze ran into the indentations I could use a slim brush to wipe it out. You can't get it all but then adding the white this way on top of it hides the mistake. If I did the white first and then caramel it would be harder to hide a mistake and I might end up going back and forth. You don't want to build the glaze up too high because it then will run. Or look at it this way. I didn't want the glazes to blend with each other. So the caramel glaze was stuck to the bisque fired piece and the white was stuck to the bisque fired piece. Hopefully that helps to keep them from running or blending with each other. Also when I filled the indentations with the white glaze it filled and helped to make the caramel lines look straighter than I painted them. Hopefully. We'll see if any of these expectations really come to be proved. RVICTOR you are sweet. Artists rarely are paid for all the hours they put into their pieces. We just work to get compliments. I'm a ham and I love them. Now if it works... =============================== [ Edited by: danlovestikis 2015-04-19 21:43 ]
