Begin with properly fired cone 04 bisque. Moisten a sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
Using the Soft Fan with FN-008 Brown, apply 2 coats to the front and back of the plate. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
Before the glaze is bone dry, use the pencil to trace over the apple pattern in the center of the plate. You should be able to see a slight indent in the glaze.
Using the Detail Liner with AC-302 Wax Resist, outline the lines of the pattern. Then make a circle going around the inner and outer rims of the plate. Make lines connecting in the inner and outer rims, going around the plate. Try to space them out evenly.
Using the Script Liner with EL-125 Sahara Sands, apply 2 coats to the area behind the apple. Allow glaze to dry between coats. Apply a third coat, but only in the center of the section. This will make the glaze more variegated.
Cut the apple out of the pattern and wet it with a damp sponge. Place over the apple on the plate.
Squeeze around 1 TBS SG-401 Black Designer Liner onto the palette. Dip the sponge on a stick into the Designer Liner and sponge the textured side of the stamp. Press the stamp down around the apple. Repeat until you have enough leaves. Remove the paper pattern.
Using the Script Liner with EL-130 Sea Green, apply 2 coats to the leaves and border of the plate. Allow glaze to dry between coats. Apply a third coat, but only in the center of each section.
Using the Script Liner with SC-74 Hot Tamale, apply 2 coats to the apple. Try to make them uneven coats, so the apple will not be solid red.
