Another new glaze

Look at that mirror finish on the center of that bowl. The glaze is Shadow Green from Seattle Pottery Supply. You get a fluid green with brown speckles if applied thinner and a metallic silver mirror finish where it pools. The "rust" on the rim is an iron red glaze that melted-in better than I had hoped for. After the bowl had cooled, took it out of the kiln and took it home, I kept hearing little ticking, tinging noises coming from the bowl!  This bowl was actually noisy and clearly not done with "business". I worried that the glaze might crackle and even crack apart! A day later it quieted down and the glaze is still beautifully intact. But should I be listening to my pottery now?
