I found that the black glazing was too dark, so I used some leftover paint and mixed it with the glaze. First I simply rubbed some on to the "belly" of each rope twist and the top edge detail. Then I decided that I needed to put more coats on the upper edge. The first coat really looked better next to the tile than the black did. I did another coat over all the "bellies" and the top edge with a small paint brush. I think I am done now!
