I'm so sorry Joanie. I guess I can't please all
Should I answer......

Ok
1. I wanted to experiment.

2. I've done this before w/ matt glazes, and even then they are not completely matt, I think possibly due to the min. porosity already achieved on the clay surface?

3. I wanted to use THESE 4 glazes because I knew they would run together, which was an effect I wanted to experiment with.

4. You ARE looking at it with a flash reflection. If it wasn't 10 degrees out I'd take some outside.

5. lastly, on many pot pics I take w/ digital inside I have a terrible problem w/ too much red. Even using color correction of photos I still can't get rid of all of it and still have pots look true to colors.

I'm not really offering these as excuses to your complaint, I'm just stating some facts regarding the outcome.
