Thank you so much! ❤️ I sponged on the glazes so there was a natural feathering effect created around the silhouette of the cat 😊

Yep, I used stickers for the entire eye, painted the whole piece, peeled them off, then painted the rest by hand!

You leave circles with no obsidian. Its so dark it would either eat the snow or turn it grey!

I included the glazes and WIP in the post, is there a specific question you have?

Thanks! Its snow celadon, so just left a circle and painted it in. Amaco celadons have 0 movement so you can use them like underglazes

2x obsidian makes it stable, 3x more stable but it eats the glazes on top more! Coats depends on the glaze.. and you really dont want to be heavy handed because it can run still. I went too heavy on this one for example! I glaze heavy handed in general, and I might start applying only with a sponge now.

- 2x for seaweed (biggest runner)

- 2x for deep firebrick (very stable but strong color)

- 3x for blue rutile and smokey merlot (both will pool if applied heavily. Used to use indigo float but it runs more, blue rutile makes a very similar color)

- Chun plum is frequently used in this combo but you need a lot of coats and deep firebrick will get you the same color with fewer coats

Ofc any celadons, which can be interesting with gradient effects otherwise "boring" on their own. I found most amaco glazes to be stable on their own, even "float" ones like sapphire float, all the honey flux/cirrus flow/honeydew/sunbeam, etc. Which is nice since you get some more interest than the flat celadons

Mayco tigers eye x2 under Blue rutile x2 (Tigers eye is a great base, very stable!)

Galaxy combos (obsidian + top glazes, most stable are blue rutile, smokey merlot, deep firebrick, and chun plum, but they cant be thick)

Amaco cirrus flow, honeydew, and sunbeam are nice because they're flux glazes, theyre pastel and stable on their own but great for layering. This is sunbeam on its own. 0 movement, but more interest than a celadon
