Blue Chinoiserie Jolly Tree

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 body of the tree. You do not need to glaze the swirls.

3. On the DSS0112 Flowers screen, draw an outline around each flower in permanent marker. Cut them out with excess screen around the edges.

4. Squeeze out around 1 TBS of SC012 Moody Blue onto the palette. Add a pinch of AC310 Silkscreen Medium. Mix with a palette knife until it becomes the consistency of peanut butter. You may need to add more silkscreen medium or glaze.

5. Choose which flowers you would like to use. Place one screen on the tree, shiny-side down. While holding the screen firmly in place, take a small amount of premixed silkscreen medium, and gently rub in circles starting in the center and working outward. Remove the screen. Repeat with the same flower or other flowers.

6. Using the Script Liner with SC012 Moody Blue, apply 3 coats to the swirls. Allow glaze to dry between coats.

7. Using the Soft Fan with NT-BR Clear One Brushing, apply 1 coat to the body of the tree.

8. Stilt and fire to cone 06.
