Instructions

  1. Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
  2. Using the CB-604 #4 Soft Fan brush, apply 2 smooth coats of Foundation FN-001 White to the top of the plate.
  3. Punch out of paper the desired number of flowers you want using a 2″ paper punch and copier paper.
  4. Wet an area with water, and “glue” down the 2″ paper circle where desired. Continue until you have the desired number of flowers on your plate.
  5. Using the CB-604 #4 Soft Fan brush, apply 2 to 3 coats of Foundation FN-32 Canton Jade to the top of the plate.
  6. On a palette, with a palette knife, mix a small amount of AC-310 Silkscreen Medium into Foundation FN-231 Clearly Jade to the consistency of peanut butter. Screen the entire surface of the plate using the DSS-0103 Flourishes Silkscreen (shiny side down).
  7. Remove the paper circles.
  8. Using the CB-404 #4 Pointed Round brush, apply 2 coats of SC-97 Cant-elope to the orange flowers and 2 coats of SC-89 Cutie Pie Coral to the red flowers.
