more lessons in glazing

This weekends glaze firing was full of experiments, some worked (yay!) and some did not (sigh).
Quick recap :
Some (white) glazes DO NOT like to be applied with a brush...inconsistencies in the glaze thickness show up very clearly. When it's too thin, see below.
 
When it's too thick, see below
 
 
So next go around, I'd like to try dipping. The blue does well with painting so I'll keep that rolling.
 
Also, I want to play with the thickness and thinness of the masked area. It looks a little too thick to me. I would also like to keep the "motif" farther away from the Celtic knot and have something closer to a scribble or string. I wonder if the thickness of the line is the key.
