4. Try Deep Firebrick under Ancient Jasper. Ancient Jasper is heavily coated along the INSIDE and less heavily coated along the outside rim.

a. apply a coat of glaze and let dry.

b. dilute 2nd glaze with water to make it a wash & apply

c. while the wash is wet, drop droplets of alcohol to create circular patterns on surface.
