Instructions
- Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
- Using a CB-604 #4 Soft Fan, apply 3 Coats of FN-001 White to the outside of the coaster holder and to the knob and center section of the individual coasters.
- Using a CB-106 #6 Script Liner, apply 3 Coats of SC-74 Hot Tamale to the trim edge of the coasters, back and the lid of the coaster holder.
- Cut sections of the napkins to fit the holder and the coasters.
- So to do this project, apply the painted napkin to the coasters or holder before they are all painted.
- Painting the napkin. With the AC-222 Medium Writer Tip, put plastic & metal tip on a 2 oz. bottle of SC-74 Hot Tamale then use to outline the stems of the berries and make dots for the berries.
- Using s CB-106 #6 Script Liner, brush the leaves on the napkin with SC-27 Sour Apple leaving some space on the leaves to brush in SC-36 Irish Luck, apply heavily. Blend the colors where they meet.
- Using a CB-110 #10/0 Liner, brush in the leaf stems with SC-36 Irish Luck heavily on the napkin.
- Apply the painted napkin to the coaster holder or the coasters after the Glaze on the napkin has started to dry. A good time to apply the napkin to the glazed surface is when the Glaze starts to skin up not when it is bone dry.
- After applying the napkin to the glazed surface, use a damp Sponge to pat the napkin surface, this way any Glaze that has dried will transfer from the napkin and stay on the surface.
- Remove the napkin.
- Using a CB-110 #10/0 Liner, lightly outline the leaves and stems with SC-15 Tuxedo.
- Using a CB-604 #4 Soft Fan, apply 3 Coats of SC-74 Hot Tamale to the inside of the coaster holder. Allow to dry.
- Stilt and fire to shelf cone 06.
- Use cork tabs on the bottoms of the coasters.
