Bee Mug with Dots

Instructions

Begin with properly fired cone 04 bisque. Moisten a sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
Using the Soft Fan with FN-001 White, apply 3 coats to the outside of the mug (everything but the handle and inside). Allow glaze to dry between coats.
Using the Soft Fan with FN-002 Yellow, apply 3 coats to the handle and inside of the mug. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
Place the pattern over the outside of the mug. Slide AC-230 Clay Carbon Paper under the pattern. Trace with the pencil. It is helpful to tape the pattern in place.
Use the pencil to make wavy lines going around the bees. These will be the different areas of dots.
Outline the bees with FD-254 Black Licorice. Allow glaze to dry.
Using the Script Liner with CG-788 Dutch Enamelware, apply 1 puddle coat to each of the wings.
Using the Script Liner with CG-798 Black Iris, apply 1 puddle coat to the black sections of the bees.
Using the Script Liner with S-2729 Citrus Splash, apply 1 puddle coat to the yellow sections of the bees.
Using SG-408 Orange, SG-409 Bright Green and SG-410 Bright Blue, make dots in each of the different sections created by your lines from Step #5.
Stilt and fire to cone 06.
