I had some success a few years ago with the application of very fine
copper wire in semi-random patterns on to a white glaze.
I needed very fine wire: I would guess about 36 swg. I got this by
stripping strands out of some extra-flexible cable as used for testgear
leads.
Spray the glaze; when dry, stick the wire on using CMC to help it stay
in place. Fire to cone 7. The copper migrates to give interesting green
trails.
If I knew how to do it, I'd put an image up, but I understand that
simply attaching one is frowned upon.
