Instructions
1.Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 Bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust making sure not to over saturate the bisque.
2. Use the Soft Fan to apply one coat of SC-16 Cotton Tail to the tile.
3. Pour SC-16 Cotton Tail into a small cup and add waterto thin; do the same with SC-76 Cara-Bein Blue. Pour the thinned Cotton Tail over the center of the tile and move the tile so the glaze moves.Pour on less of the thinned Cara-Bein Blue into the Cottontail. Move the tile to blend the glazes and marble. Let dry.
4. On a palette, sprinkle AC-310 Silkscreen Medium onto SC-15 Tuxedo. Mix with the palette knife to the consistency of peanut butter. Using the birdcage screen from DSS-0141 Birdcage, place the screen shiny side down on the tile and rub the thickened mix over the screen. Remove the screen gently clean with water.
5. Hold the SL-431 BLoom Stencil on the side of the tile. Use the plastic card or squeegee to drag SG-501 Sculpting Medium over the stencil. (Use only 3-4 layers on the petals). Before removing the stencil, use the card to drag or SG-403 Red and SG-408 Orange onto the tile (or apply with a brush). Remove the stencil immediately.
6. Pencil in a vine of leaves and apply one coat of SC-27 Sour Apple and SC-26 Green Thumb. Pat SG-408 Orange onto the leaves.
7. Outline the leaves and flower petals with SC-15 Tuxedo. Use SG-403 Red to make spirals over the leaves and flower petals.
8. Dip into NT-CLR or apply one coat of S-2101 Clear to the tile.
