Instructions

  1. Begin with properly fired cone 04 bisque. Moisten a sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
  2. Squeeze around 2 TBS of SC-23 Jack O’Lantern onto the palette. Dip the sponge on a stick into the glaze and sponge the baby’s bottom. Take the plate and press the center against the baby’s bottom. Allow glaze to dry completely.
  3. Take the MC-002 12mm Low Tack Masking Tape and make 2 perpendicular lines going across the entire plate. Then take the tape and place 3 pieces in each of the 4 sections on the rim of the plate. Try to space them equally.
  4. Using the Script Liner with SC-24 Dandelion, apply 3 coats to every other section on the rim. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  5. Using the Script Liner with SC-23 Jack O’Lantern, apply 3 coats to the remaining sections on the rim. Try to space them equally.
  6. Remove the tape before the glaze has completely dried.
  7. Place the AC-230 Clay Carbon Paper onto the plate. Position the pattern so that the stem and leaves are above the print and the lettering is below. Trace the pattern using the pencil.
  8. Using the Script Liner with SC-48 Camel Back, apply 1 coat to the stem.
  9. Using the Script Liner with SC-26 Green Thumb, apply 1 coat to the leaves.
  10. Using the Detail Liner with SC-15 Tuxedo, make accent lines and dots on the rim. Make accent lines around the leaves, stem and bottom. Apply 1 coat over the lettering.
  11. Using the Soft Fan with SG-703 Autumn, apply 2 coats over the rim of the plate. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  12. Using the Soft Fan with NT-BR Clear One Brushing, apply 2 coats to the center of the plate and the back. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  13. Fire to cone 06.
