Instructions

1. Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
2. On a palette with a palette knife, thicken SC-15 Tuxedo with AC-310 Silkscreen Medium to the consistency of peanut butter.
3. Position the pineapple screen on a piece of paper, with the shiny side down. Hold the screen on the paper with one hand and rub the thickened Tuxedo over the screen onto the paper using a finger. This will create a template/mask. Then cut out the shape.
4. Onto the tile, trace the shape.
5. Using the Script Liner, apply two coats of SC-97 Cant-elope to the pineapple and two coats of SC-26 Green Thumb to the leaves on the top.
6. While drying, place the paper pineapple over the painted pineapple (to mask out the pineapple).
7. Tap SC-15 Tuxedo with the sponge-on-a-stick onto ST-127 Crackle Stamp. Press the stamp to the remainder of the tile, repeating process to fill in background.
8. Remove the paper pineapple mask.
9. Place the pineapple screen over the painted pineapple, shiny side down. Rub the thickened Tuxedo over the screen.
10. Using the Soft Fan, apply two coats of FN-224 Key Lime over the background.
11. Fire to cone 05/06.
