Elements Tropical Leaves Platter

Instructions

Begin with properly fired cone 04 bisque. Moisten a sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
On the DSS-0166 Tropical Leaves screen, draw an outline around each leaf in permanent marker. Cut them out with excess screen around the edges.
Squeeze out around 1 TBS of SC-15 Tuxedo onto the palette. Add a pinch of AC-310 Silkscreen Medium. Mix with a palette knife until it becomes the consistency of peanut butter. You may need to add more silkscreen medium or glaze.
Choose which leaves you would like to use. Place one screen on the platter, shiny-side down. While holding the screen firmly in place, take a small amount of premixed silkscreen medium, and gently rub in circles starting in the center and working outward. Repeat for the rest of the leaves.
Use the pencil to draw a wavy line towards the end of the platter. This will be the line between the screened section and the colored section.
Using the Soft Fan with NT-BR Clear One Brushing, apply 2 coats to the front of the platter. Only to the larger half made by the line. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
Using the Soft Fan with FN-009 Black, apply 2 coats to the front of the platter. Only to the smaller half made by the line. Also apply 2 coats to the edges and back of the platter. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
Using the Script Liner with EL-142 Grass, apply 2 coats over the smaller half of the platter glazed in Step #7. Apply a 3rd coat just to the center of the section.
Fire to cone 06.
