Instructions

1. Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
   
2. Using the Soft Fan Brush, apply two coats of FN-001 White to the front of the Coupe Dinner Plate. Allow to dry (shine fades) before applying the second layer of glaze.
3. Mark the toilet paper tube about 1 1/4" up. Cut strips about 1/4" wide all the way around the tube. Bend the strips back so the cut pieces lay out flat like a flower. 
4. When decorating the plate, you will work from the center out to the rim.
5. Use the sponge-on-a-stick and apply SC-6 Sunkissed to the toilet paper roll flower. Stamp create flowers by pressing this down in a circle to the middle of the plate. Re-apply glaze to toilet roll as needed.
6. Now use the sponge-on-a stick to apply SC-75 Orange-A-Peel and stamp on the outside of the SC-6 Sunkissed flower and overlap the petals so the colors blend into each other.
7. The next section of flowers will be SC-74 Hot Tamale applied in the same fashion. Continue working your way out to the edge. You can add some SC-75 Orange-A-Peel to the SC-74 Hot Tamale.
8. The front of the plate will be covered with rows of flowers that blend out to the edge.
9. Using the end of a brush or pencil use SC-15 Tuxedo to dot the centers of the flower.
10. Use Detail Liner to randomly outline the flowers to give it form. The outlining is loose and not precise.
11. Use the Soft Fan brush to apply three coats of FN-001 White to the rim and sides of the plate. Allow to dry.
12. Stilt and fire to cone 05/06.
