Instructions

  1. Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 bisque.  Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
  2. Place some FN-032 Canton Jade into a small cup and add a little bit of water to slightly dilute it (about 3 parts glaze and 1 part water).  It should be the consistency of a coffee cream.  Pour this into the vase and roll around to completely coat the interior of the vase.  Drain out the excess glaze and keep the vase inverted until it has lost its shine. Wipe off any glaze from the outside using a damp sponge. Allow to dry.
  3. Using a CB-604 #4 Soft Fan, Apply 2 coats of SC-40 Blueberry Hill to the outside of the vase.  Allow to dry.
  4. With a pencil and AC-230 Clay Carbon Paper, transfer the flower image to the vase.
  5. Using the back end of your brush dot on the flowers with SG-302 Snowfall; be sure to have variation in the amount of paint you put on the brush so the buds are different sizes.
  6. Using a CB-202 #2 Detail Liner, apply 2 coats of FN-032 Canton Jade to the stem. Also, add 1 coat of SC-7 Leapin’ Lizard for the shadows of the stem.
  7. Using a CB-110 #10/0 Liner, with SC-15 Tuxedo loosely to outline the flower. Make sure there are breaks in the line just to accents key places.  Allow to dry.
  8. Stilt and fire to shelf cone 06/05.
