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 FN001 White, apply 1 coat to the front of the plate.
  3. Cut out the mushroom pattern. Wet the back and place in the center of the plate. Press around the edges with a damp sponge to make sure they stay down.
  4. Using the Soft Fan with FN001 White, apply 1 coat over the edges of the mushroom pattern.
  5. Using the Soft Fan with FN061 Ivory Specks, apply 3 coats to the front and back of the plate. Remove the pattern on the front of the plate before the glaze is completely dry.
  6. Allow glaze to dry completely.
  7. Using MC002 12mm Low Tack Masking Tape, apply a horizontal piece going across the front of the plate. This will separate the grass from the sky.
  8. Using the Soft Fan with FN058 Green Apple, apply 3 coats to the bottom half of the plate. Do not glaze over the mushrooms. Allow glaze to dry between coats. Remove the tape before the glaze is bone dry.
  9. Using MC001 12mm Low Tack Masking Tape, tape off the bottom half of the plate. Then tape off rays coming out from the mushrooms. Use MC001 6mm Low Tack Masking Tape to tape off smaller rays.
  10. Using the Soft Fan with FN057 Periwinkle, apply 3 coats to the upper half of the plate. Do not glaze over the mushrooms. Allow glaze to dry between coats. Remove the tape before the glaze is bone dry.
  11. Using the Script Liner with FN055 Bubblegum, apply 3 coats to the large mushroom cap. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  12. Using the Script Liner with FN056 Heather, apply 3 coats to the small mushroom cap. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  13. Using the Script Liner with SC006 Sunkissed, apply 3 coats to the small mushroom stem. Allow glaze to dry between coats.

  15. Squeeze out 1 tsp SC001 Pink-A-Boo and 1 tsp SC013 Grapel onto the palette. Dip the eraser of the pencil into SC001 Pink-A-Boo and stamp the large mushroom cap. Repeat until it is covered in dots. Dip the eraser of the pencil into SC013 Grapel and stamp the small mushroom cap. Repeat until it is covered in dots.
