Q: Can you make a Tiki Mug that looks like stone? - Other Crafts

I will have to make a textured swatch to glaze and see how the colors will melt/blend together, if at all. Will a color standout if you brush it over black? I'm still designing my first few mugs (I have about 6 ideas) and wanted to know if stone was even a possibility. There's a great image in Sven's Book of Tiki of a volcano bowl done in stone with a multi-colored lava glaze on top. I'm trying to dissect that method and see if I can apply it to my mug. The rest will have a wood look and classic solid semi-transparent colors. Has anyone here used Laguna Glazes? Do they mix well?
