Bright Patterned App Plates

Small App Plate:

1. Begin with properly fired cone 04 bisque. Moisten a sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
2. Take an 8.5×11” piece of paper and cut out lengthwise strips. Use the ruler and pencil to make sure they are even. They can be whatever thickness you would like. I used varying thicknesses.
3. Cut out the plain circle pattern.
4. Using the Soft Fan with FN-001 White, apply 1 coat to the front of the plate.
5. Take the plain circle pattern and wet the back with a damp sponge. Place the pattern in the center of the plate. Sponge the edges with water to make sure they are down. Using the Soft Fan with FN-001 White, apply 1 coat over the edges.
6. Repeat Step #5 with the strips of paper. Place them going across the plate. Use as many as you would like.
7. Using the Soft Fan with FN-044 Yellow-Orange, apply 2 coats to the front of the plate. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
8. Squeeze out around 1 TBS of SC-97 Cant-elope and SC-55 Yella Bout It onto the palette. Dip the sponge into SC-97 Cant-elope and lightly sponge the front of the plate. Repeat with SC-55 Yella Bout It.
9. Carefully remove the pattern before the glaze is bone dry.
10. Cut out the pattern with the flower inside. Cut around the inner circle. Place the circle in the center of the circle on the plate. Trace around the circle with the pencil.
11. Using the Script Liner with SC-88 Tu Tu Tango, apply 2 coats to inner circle. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
12. Wait for the inner circle to be dry to the touch. Take the pattern and place it back over the inner circle. Use the pencil to trace over the flower. You should be able to see a faint line in the glaze. Check to make sure you are not pressing too hard or too light.
13. Using the Script Liner with SC-9 Jaded, apply 2 coats to the 4 large petals of the flower. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
14. Using the Script Liner with SC-10 Teal Next Time, apply 2 coats to the 4 smaller petals of the flower. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
15. Squeeze out around 1 TSP of SC-24 Dandelion onto the palette. Dip the pencil eraser in the glaze and press onto the center of the flower to make a dot.
16. Using the Soft Fan with SC-88 Tu Tu Tango, apply 3 coats to the back and rim of the plate. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
17. Dip into NT-CLR Clear One Dipping glaze.

Large App Plate:

1. Begin with properly fired cone 04 bisque. Moisten a sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
2. Print the 2 patterns. The large one will be used for masking. The small one will be used to trace the design within the pattern.
3. Use the scissors to cut out each of the 3 sections of the large pattern.
4. Using the Soft Fan with FN-001 White, apply 1 coat to the front of the plate.
5. Take the center piece from the pattern and wet the back with a damp sponge. Place that piece going down the center of the plate. Sponge the edges with water to make sure they are down. Using the Soft Fan with FN-001 White, apply 1 coat over the edges.
6. Repeat Step #5 with the 2 other side pieces of the pattern. Place them evenly between the center pattern and the bottom edge of the plate (where the bottom meets the side).
7. Using the Soft Fan with FN-043 Bright Jade, apply 2 coats to the front of the plate. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
8. Squeeze out around 1 TBS of SC-10 Teal Next Time and SC-96 Aqu-ward onto the palette. Dip the sponge into SC-10 Teal Next Time and lightly sponge the front of the plate. Repeat with SC-96 Aqu-ward.
9. Carefully remove the pattern before the glaze is bone dry.
10. Take the small pattern and cut out the circle with the flower inside. Place the circle in the center of one of the circles on the plate. Trace around the circle. Repeat until all of the circles on the plate.
11. Using the Script Liner with SC-24 Dandelion, apply 2 coats to each of the inner circles on the plate. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
12. Wait for the inner circles to be dry to the touch. Take the small pattern and place it back over one of the inner circles. Use the pencil to trace over the flower. You should be able to see a faint line in the glaze. Check to make sure you are not pressing too hard or too light. Repeat for all of the circles.
13. Using the Script Liner with SC-88 Tu Tu Tango, apply 2 coats to each of the flowers. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
14. Squeeze out around 1 TSP of SC-10 Teal Next Time onto the palette. Dip the pencil eraser in the glaze and press onto the center of a flower to make a dot. Repeat for all flowers.
15. Using the Soft Fan with FN-033 Mediterranean Teal, apply 3 coats to the back and rim of the plate. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
16. Dip into NT-CLR Clear One Dipping glaze.
