Instructions


  1. Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 bisque.  Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
  2. Using a CB-604 #4 Soft Fan, apply 2 coats of FN-009 Black to the front of the plate. Apply 3 coats to the back of the plate.  This can be done now, or after you have finished the design to speed up the drying process.
  3. Using the AB-708 #8 Round, with SC-16 Cotton Tail, apply 1 coat of cross hatch brushstrokes to the top of the plate.
  4. Using a combination of SC-33 Fruit of the Vine, SC-85 Orkid, SC-29 Bluegrass, and SC-45 My Blue Heaven add the shading.  Use SC-33 Fruit of the Vine and SC-29 Bluegrass from the outside of the plate working in and adding SC-85 Orkid and SC-45 My Blue Heaven towards the center of the plate and around where the trees will be. Allow to dry.
  5. Using a pencil and  AC-230 Clay Carbon Paper, trace the design onto the plate.
  6. Using a CB-106 #6 Script Liner, fill in the trees using 3 coats of each color.  The tree on the left side with SC-26 Green Thumb, the tree on the right side with SC-74 Hot Tamale, and  the middle tree with SC-32 Bluebeard.
  7. Using a CB-106 #6 Script Liner, fill in the stars using  2-3 coats of SC-6 Sunkissed. Add the trunks on the trees using 2-3 coats of SC-16 Cotton Tail and SC-74 Hot Tamale.
  8. Add the ornaments in a design of your choice and using any of the colors listed above once the trees are dry. Apply 2 coats of each color used.
