1. Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
2. Using a 1 3/4" diameter circle, trace circles on the lid, evenly spaced as shown. Trace a 1 1/4" diameter circle inside previously traced circle. And finally, trace a 1" circle inside the previously traced circle.
3. Using a 1 1/4" diameter circle, trace circles above and inbetween previously traced circles. With a pencil, draw two spirals inside the previously traced circles. 
4. Using SG-409 Bright Green, outline the largest (1 3/4") circles. Also apply dots around the large, indented circle on the lid of MB-1410 Button box.
5. Using SG-410 Bright Blue, outline the mid-sized (1 1/4") circles. 
6. Draw lines using SG-409 Bright Green to connect the bright green circle to the bright blue circle, as shown.
