Instructions
- Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
- With a pencil and AC-230 Cay Carbon Paper, trace on the pattern.
- Using a CB-106 #6 Script Liner and a CB-110 #10/0 Liner, apply 2 coats of SC-15 Tuxedo to the leaves and stems.
- Cut out the other paper pattern.
- Using a CB-106 #6 Script Liner, apply SC-15 Tuxedo to the back of the paper pattern. Press lightly to set in place on the leaf, and then wait a minute before pressing firmly. This will remove air bubbles and allow the glaze to adhere to the plate from the paper.
- Using a damp sponge, wipe any color the has squirted out, starting from the center of the flower out. There should be no color on the bisque.
- Using a CB-604 #4 Soft Fan, apply 2-3 coats of El-110 Mudslide to the top of the plate.
- When the last coat of El-110 Mudslide has lost its shine, remove the paper leaves and stems with a pin and tweezers. Allow to dry.
- Using a CB-604 #4 Soft Fan, apply 2-3 coats of El-110 Mud Slide to the back of the plate.
- Using a CB-106 #6 Script Liner and a CB-110 #10/0 Liner, apply 1 coat of CG-798 Black Iris to the leaves and stems. Note: Do not place too many crystals on the stems. Allow to dry.
- Stilt and fire to shelf cone 06.
