Instructions

  1. Begin with properly fired cone 04 bisque. Moisten a sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
  2. Using the Soft Fan with FN-001 White, apply 2 coats to the front of the plate. Allow glaze to dry to the touch, but not bone dry.
  3. Place pattern #1 over the plate and trace the 3 “dashed line” monstera leaves with the pencil. Check to make sure you are pressing hard enough to see a line. Remove the pattern.
  4. Cut out the 3 monstera leaves from pattern #2. Place each leaf over the 3 leaves traced on the plate. They should each match up with one of the traced leaves (small, medium and large).
  5. Dip the Soft Fan in water. Lift up each leaf, one at a time, and brush water under the leaf. Place the leaf back down and press with a damp sponge. Make sure to press the edges down.
  6. Using the Soft Fan with FN-001 White, apply 1 coat around the edges of the 3 leaves to keep them securely in place. Allow glaze to dry to the touch.
  7. Using the Soft Fan with FN-032 Canton Jade, apply 2 coats over the front of the plate. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  8. Remove the paper monstera leaves before the glaze is bone dry.
  9. Place pattern #1 back over the plate. Try to line up the pattern with the 3 monstera leaves on the plate. Trace with the pencil. Check to make sure you are pressing hard enough to see a line.
  10. Using the Script Liner with FN-041 Medium Blue, apply 2 coats to the two rounded-looking fern leaves. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  11. Using the Script Liner with FN-0007 Green, apply 2 coats to the 3 pointed-looking fern leaves. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  12. Using the Script Liner with FN-042 Teal Blue, apply 2 coats to the 2 monstera leaves. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  13. Pour around 1 TSP of FN-001 White onto the palette. Dip the pencil eraser into the glaze and press onto the background. Repeat until you have the desired amount of dots.
  14. Using the Soft Fan with FN-032 Canton Jade, apply 2 coats to the back of the plate. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  15. Stilt and fire to cone 06.
