Instructions

  1. Begin with properly fired cone 04 bisque. Moisten a sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
  2. Take the AC220 1oz Bottles and fill them ¾ full with SC003 Wine About It, SC020 Cashew Later, and SC095 Pinkie Swear. Fill them the rest of the way with water. Screw the tips on and shake.
  3. Using the Soft Fan with FN001 White, apply 1 coat to the top of the cap. While the glaze is still wet, generously squirt the top of the cap with the bottles from Step #2. Rotate the mushroom to help the glaze marbleize. Once the top of the cap is covered, place it upright to dry. It is helpful to do this over a paper plate.
  4. Use a damp sponge to remove any glaze that dripped down to the underside of the cap.
  5. Using the Soft Fan with SC-16 Cotton Tail, apply 3 coats to the large sections of the stem. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  6. Using the Soft Fan with SC-20 Cashew Later, apply 3 coats to the underside of the cap. Use the Script Liner to apply 3 coats to the bottom edge of the stem. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  7. Using the Script Liner with SC-3 Wine About It, apply 3 coats to the small diamonds on the cap. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  8. After the glaze is bone dry, use SG-401 Black to outline the facets.
  9. Stilt and Fire to cone 06.
