Over To The Dark Side

I've avoided blue my entire pottery career, especially bright cobalt blue, but have come to realize that I quite like some blues.  Here are a few of the blues I'm testing.  The first two and the fourth are the same glaze on different clays.  Attractive but with a tendency to run.  The third and fifth are both another glaze but on different clay and in different parts of the kiln.  The powder blue is leaving me a bit cold.  There will be more tests in the next firing, sometime in September/October.  And yes, blue does sell.
