Instructions

    1. Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 bisque.  Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
    2. With a pencil and AC-230 Clay Carbon Paper, trace on the design.
    3. Outline the design with SG-401 Designer Liner. Allow to dry.
    4. Using a CB-106 Script Liner and a CB-110 Liner, apply 2 heavy coats of SW-201 Turquoise over the tree and branches.
    5. Using a CB-106 Script Liner, apply 2 coats of SC-2 Melon-Choly to the breast of the bird, then finish with SC-89 Cutie Pie Coral.
    6. apply SC-16 Cotton Tail to the large unpainted areas on the top of the plate, don’t worry about getting it close to the detail.
    7. Float SC-30 Blue Dawn around some of the branches of the tree.
    8. Using a CB-106 Script Liner, apply 2 coats of SC-2 Melon-Choly to the inner part of the rim and SC-89 Cutie Pie Coral to the outer part of the rim.
    9. Using a CB-604 #4 Soft Fan, apply 2 coats of SC-89 Cutie Pie Coral to the back of the plate but not the bottom.
    10. Using a CB-604 #4 Soft Fan, apply 2 coats of SW-100 Stoneware Clear over the top of the plate, no need to worry about over lapping the branches and the bird.
    11. Use a damp sponge to make sure all the glaze is removed from the bottom and foot of the plate, as it cannot be stilted.
    12. Fire to shelf cone 5/6.
