Instructions
- Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
- Evenly load a dry AC-213 Sponge on a Stick with ST-15 Tuxedo and apply to the ST-105 Dancing Heart Stamp. For best results leave the stamp flat on the table and pounced the Sponge on a Stick up and down to only ink the high part of the stamp.
- Press the stamp onto the bisque, reapply the SC-15 Tuxedo to the stamp and continue until the dish is covered with the Dancing Heart Design. Allow to dry until the shine is gone from the glaze.
- Using a RB-140 #8 Soft Fan, apply 2 even coats of FN-209 Floral Pink Sheer over the entire dish including the stamping.
- Using a RB-116 #6 Pound, apply 2 coats of SC-74 Hot Tamale to the egg holes. Allow to dry.
- Using the same brush, apply 2 coats of SC-15 Tuxedo to create the line and body of the Lady Bug. Also paint the round head at the top of the egg hole.
- With a RB-100 #0 Liner, create the little hearts on the wings of the lady bug and add the antennas.
- With the back end of the brush, dot the eyes on the head with SC-16 Cotton Tail, then dot the eye with SC-15 Tuxedo to create the pupil.
- Allow to dry.
- Note: Clear glaze is not necessary if completely covered with FN-209 Floral Pink Foundation Sheer.
- Stilt and fire to shelf cone 05/06.
