Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
Using the Pure White French Dimensions (FD258), create a small three or four petal flower blob where you’d like the center of your first flower to be.
Using the Detail Liner brush, pull the French Dimension glaze from the center of the glaze line down into the middle of the shape all the way around your small flower.
To add a new petal to the flower, connect the tip of one petal to the tip of the next one with a wiggly U shaped line of FD258.
Pull the FD from the center of the glaze line down towards the middle of each petal.
Repeat steps 3-4 for all petals.
Repeat steps 2-4 for however many flowers you desire on your piece.
Use the French Dimension to create line work leaves to fill in any gaps between the flowers.
Using the Script Liner brush, apply one coat of FN236 Miami Pink to the inside of each petal, butting the color right up to the edge of the main line of French Dimension.
Apply a second coat of FN236 to the petals, but don’t go all the way to the French Dimension line.
Apply a third coat of FN236 going only slightly below where the second coat stops.
Using the Script Liner brush, apply two coats of FN216 Sea Glass to the leaves.
Apply three coats of CG974 Bloomin’ Blue around the flowers, leaves, and stem of the mushroom with the script liner, detail liner, and fan brushes.
Allow project to dry, stilt and fire to cone 06.
Tips:
The thicker the line of French Dimension, the easier it will be to pull texture from the FD line down into the petal.
Allow the French dimension lines to set up briefly before beginning to pull the texture. The texture will disappear if pulled from too fresh of a glaze line.
