I wanted to get the feel of the old paper mache Jack-O-Lanterns without copying them directly.
They are done with underglazes and a crackle slip while wet, then rubbed with oxides and more underglazes after bisque. Then they are sprayed with a wash of Gerstley Borate before being fired to cone 6. This gives them a soft sheen instead of a real glossy glaze.The crackle slip on the skulls came out especially nice.

Hi,
Your Lanterns are freaking awesome :)
Loving the crackle slip, looks like it went on nice and thin, the only crackle slip ive come across in the past was a Soda firing one which had to be applied thickly and ruined any fine details, would you be willing to share your recipe?
Happy playing with mud :)
