Same as rose. I focused it at the bottom of the curve, so it defocuses closer to the edge and fades. Gives it a nice aged look with the crackle glaze.
Just some of the experimentation Iāve been doing, the TiO2 method works really well with unglazed tile as well! Do a laser project, then glaze it with a semi-transparent later. (this is still on my to-try).
I actually like the results of the failed engraving. I think the sparkles add to it, making it better⦠Probably not too controllable, but maybe thatās what I like about itā¦
The engraving itself isnāt a fail, itās one of my faves. It was the glaze that āfailedā and thus made it scrap, so I claimed it. Itās not supposed to have the blue spots in the green, which I personally like.
Ooo a dark taupe takes the laser very well. 2x8.5 tile, dark taupe glaze, direct laser, nothing added. 1000mm/m @ 100% power (can likely be done a lot faster/less power) on XTool D1 Pro 10W.
