Winter Large Tree Silhouette

Instructions

Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
Cut out the large snowflake from the DSS0160 Vintage Holiday Screen.
Tape the edges of each tree branch to keep from getting any of the snowflakes onto the branches.
Divide the tree in half from the top to the bottom to help with snowflake placement.
Mix some SG401Black Designer Liner with AC310Silkscreen Medium to the consistency of peanut butter using a palette knife.
Position the snowflake on the tree starting at the top then apply the Black designer mix using your index finger. Continue working your way down the tree. Some areas will have a half a snowflake. You can get 2-3 prints then you need to clean the screen in water. Do not let any color dry in the screen.
Using a CB110 #10/0 Liner, apply 3 coats of CC108 China Sea to each snowflake.
Remove the masking tape.
Using a CB604 #4 Soft Fan, apply 3 coats of CC107 Green Tea to the back and the branches of the tree. Allow to dry!
Using a CB604 #4 Soft Fan, apply 3 coats of CC101 Transparent to the front of the tree over the snowflakes. Allow to dry!
Stilt and fire to shelf cone 06.
To make the crackle pattern show up, to an area apply some thinned OS476 Black to a section at a time then wipe off with a paper towel or cloth.
Do Not Fire!
