    which color is the recipe for? Is it the rusty color or the yellow?

    They give two color variations - Look below the glaze recipe. One for green and the other for orange.

    I too would like to see all ten but can only access three. Did I miss a link?

    Go to the free gifts link at the top left of the screen; click on the title of the book (dark reddish brown), save or open when the dialog window opens. :-)

    All efforts to receive the free gifts have failed. I keep getting a message that says that my email is already in use. It’s MY e-mail!

    Is the pot glazed with one base glaze with two different colorant combinations or is it a combination of glazes other than the one listed?
