Load the CB-604 Soft Fan brush with SC-33 Fruit of the Vine and apply 2 coats to some of the edges of the leaf brushing the color towards the inside center. Color should be heaviest along the edge trailing out towards the center almost in a dry brush method. You are not trying to completely cover the inner surface of the dish. If there are skips in the color all the better. Only slightly brush the color on the backside of the leaf matching the placement of color on the front. Repeat this same method of color application using SC-73 Candy Apply Red on the other edges of the leaf. The colors can and should overlap some.

Wipe off any glaze from the foot of the dish with a damp sponge. Fire to Shelf Cone 5-6 (Mid-range High Fire.) Do not stilt the piece. Make sure the foot of the dish is completely sitting on the kiln shelf.
