Instructions
- Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
- Place a small amount of FN-001 White 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 pitcher and roll around to completely coat the interior of the pitcher. Drain out the excess glaze and keep pitcher inverted until it has lost its shine. Wipe off any glaze from the outside using a damp sponge. Allow to dry.
- Using a CB-604 #4 Soft Fan, apply 2 coats of SC-89 Cutie Pie to the body of the pitcher.
- While the second coat is still wet, lay in the lace doily, brush over the doily with more SC-89 Cutie Pie Coral, make sure to remove any gaps between the doily and the pitcher.
- Soak up excess glaze with a paper towel.
- After it has dried to the touch, but still damp, use a brush or a rubber squeegee to apply the SG-501 Sculpting Medium to the holes in the lace.
- Remove the doily when the SG-501 Sculpting Medium just starts to dry.
- Using a CB-604 #4 Soft Fan, apply a coat of SC-89 Cutie Pie Coral to the remaining body of the pitcher (plain area).
- Using a CB-602 #2 Soft Fan, apply 3 coats of FN-001 White to the handle. Allow to dry.
- Stilt and fire to shelf cone 05/06.
