Instructions

  1. Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
  2. Using a 2 1/2" diameter circle, trace seven, 2 1/2" circles on the lid, evenly spaced as shown.
  3. With a pencil, draw two spirals inside the previously traced circles. 
  4. Using SG-401 Black, outline the traced circles. Also using SC-401 Black to the large circle indent on the top of the MB-1410 Button Box lid.
  5. Using SG-404 Blue, outline the drawn spiral shapes.
  6. Using SG-409 Bright Green, create dots in the negative space surrounding the 2 1/2" circles, as shown.
  7. Using SG-408 Orange, create dots around the swirl shapes. Allow to dry completely.
  8. Using CB-604 #4 Soft Fan, apply 3 coats of CC-108 China Sea to the center of the lid. Also apply 3 coats to the interior and exterior of the bottom of the MB-1410 Button Box. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  9. Using CB-604 #4 Soft Fan, apply 3 coats of CC-101 Transparent Crackle on the rim of the lid. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  10. Clean glaze out the button holes on the lid.
