Some folks will wrap thin copper wire around the pieces or place different
metals on or around the piece. Give that a try. I don't know what will give you specific colors though.

Thanks, Sam I put overripe-rotten tomatoes on one of my masks and got a pink. http://home.earthlink.net/~maryframbes/ceramics.htm It's the one with the hair+flower and dark glasses. I used 50/50 Half Laguna white and half porcelain. Mary |
