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 2 coats of FN-001 White to the top of the plate and to the outside of the mug. Allow to dry.
- With ¼” masking tape, apply the tape to the bottom edge of the hat area on both pieces.
- Using a CB-604 #4 Soft Fan, apply 2 coats of SC-8 Just Froggy to the hats.
- With a Silk Sponge, lightly sponge SC-26 Green Thumb over the SC-8 Just Froggy, then sponge some SC-16 Cotton Tail on to the rim of the hat on the plate.
