Instructions

  1. Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 Bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
  2. Using the Soft Fan with FN-001 White, apply two coats to the front of the plate. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  3. Use the Clay Carbon Paper to trace the pattern onto the piece. Go over the wreath pattern with a water-based marker. This will allow you to see the pattern when we apply color onto the piece.
  4. Use the Script Liner to apply one coat of AC-302 Wax Resist to the word “Joy”.
  5. Squeeze 1 TBS of SC-35 Gray Hare, SC-60 Silver Lining and FN-001 White onto the palette. Using the sponge, dip the side into SC-35 Gray Hare and sponge the center of the plate. Then dip into SC-60 Silver Lining and blend with the SC-35 Gray Hare, extending towards the edge of the plate. Then dip into FN-001 White and blend to the edge of the plate.
  6. Using the Detail Liner with SC-48 Camel Back, apply one coat to the branches.
  7. Using the Script Liner with SC-39 Army Surplus, apply one coat to the leaves on the top left and bottom right.
  8. Using the Script Liner with SC-39 Army Surplus and SC-9 Jaded, apply one coat to the leaves on the bottom left and middle right.
  9. Using the Script Liner with SC-9 Jaded, apply one coat to the leaves on the top right.
  10. Using the Script Liner with SC-26 Green Thumb, apply one coat to the leaves on the middle left and the holly.
  11. Using the Script Liner with SC-74 Hot Tamale, apply one coat to the berries.
  12. Dip the Script Liner in FN-001 White and tap the brush handle over another brush handle. This will splatter glaze over the plate.
  13. Using the Soft Fan with FN-001 White, apply three coats to the back of the plate. Alternatively, you can apply two coats of SG-701 Star Dust on the back of the plate.
  14. Fire to cone 06.
