I believe the word is "stylized."

1. Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
2. Tape off the inner border closest to the pattern using Pink Hair Tape. Then make another border next to the green border using ½" masking tape.
3. Using a CB-106 #6 Script Liner, apply 3 coats of SC-27 Sour Apple to the inner border and 3 coats of SC-74 Hot Tamale to the outer border. Remove the tape before the last coat of color dries to avoid chipping.
4. Using AC-230 Clay Carbon Paper and a pencil, transfer the pattern to the center of the plate.
5. Using a CB-106 #6 Script Liner, apply 3 coats of SC-27 Sour Apple to the triangel tree on the left, avoiding the circles. Apply 3 coats of SC-74 Hot Tamale to the large circles and 3 coats of SC-13 Grapel on the smaller circles and large circle on top of crooked tree.
6. Crooked tree (refer to the color photo): Using a CB-106 #6 Script Liner, apply 3 coats of SC-27 Sour Apple, SC-70 Pink-A-Dot, SC-27 Green Thumb and SC-74 Hot Tamale to the various sections.
7. Dots (red circles on the triangle tree and red stripes on crooked tree): Use SC-24 Dandelion to dot the red circles on the triangle tree. Dot the SC-70 Pink-A-Dot stripe with SC-13 Grapel.
8. Bases of trees: Apply 3 coats of SC-70 Pink-A-Dot. While still wet, blend 2 coats of SC-74 Hot Tamale into the left side.
9. Using a AC-222 Medium Writer Tip with SC-15 Tuxedo, outline the trees, circles, and tree bases. Referring to the photo, make a line to conect the trees with the bases and make dots. Make a squiggly line inside the border colors.
10. Using a stiff toohbrush, spatter the whole plate wit SC-26 Green Thumb.
11. Apply clear glaze. Stilt and fired to shelf cone 06.
