When it arrived to glazing what I built I was a bit stymied at 1st. I made a decision to test some underglazes which I do not commonly like since they are so stiff. But I preferred all those markings to display up by way of the other glazes I applied. So I experimented with out a black and a blue. I was not unsatisfied with the end result.

What am I heading to do with all of these creations? I approach to use them in some of my no cost form peyote stitch jewelry. And some I have positioned in my Etsy store.
