Instructions

  1. Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
  2. Thin S-2101 Crystal Clear with water (3:1), pour to the inside of all the house vases, turn to coat and drain out the excess glaze.
  3. On a palette, pour about a lid full of S-2101 Clear. Tint the color with blue food coloring. Add some AC-310 Silkscreen Medium to the glaze, use a palette knife to mix to a peanut butter-like consistency.
  4. Use the various images from DSS-0112 Flowers to screen (using the tinted S-2101 Clear) to the bottom portion of the houses, on all sides. *This is for placement of color. Screen with the grain side up.
  5. Using CB-106 #6 Script Liner, apply 2 coats of the various Stroke and Coat colors to the flower heads, and SC-27 Sour Apple to the stems and leaves, staying inside of the screened image.
  6. On the palette with a palette knife, mix AC-310 Silkscreen Medium with SG-401 Black to a peanut butter-like consistency.
  7. Position the floral screens previous screened with the tinted glaze over the exact placement. Screen with the thickened SG-401 Black, by rubbing the mix over the screen with your finger. Wash between screens.
