Well, these have turned out pretty good. So pleased with the outcome. Some have now gone to a new home but there will be plenty more to come !
Just love the way glazes have that powdery pastel look before firing.
After a few test pieces I continued to glaze the cupboard/draw knobs,
using 3 coats of brush on glaze and no clear glaze. Plugs out for the
first 2 hours and fired to 1105c, cone 03 with a 15 min soak. A test piece fired to 1140c proved to fade and blur the colours.
These are some samples of the metalyk bronze on-glaze I used on parts of the mushrooms and faces.
The effects of layering the bronze onto different colours, looks good over the darker colours.
I used the bronze onglaze around the hairline and at the base of the knob to give a nice neat finish.
I added some bronze onglaze detail to add more interest to the mushrooms.
The hats reflect the cowboy theme.
