golden at last

finally...after copious amounts of trouble...little yellow cups have emerged from this kiln just this morning :) im so glad! although because of the small amount of colour to start with, they are quite thin in comparicon to the other colours, and also therefore warped a little in the kiln, but they will be ok :)

this yellow...let me tell you...was hard work. the original yellow was not 'golden' enough so i had to add little amounts of manganese dioxide...etc etc...then it was too speckly so had to be ball milled... then, for certian reasons out of my control, they were not fired to the right temperature (so the colour did not intensify enough)...but on their third go they are wonderful, im so glad i finally have them! :)
