Instructions

1. Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.

3. Use the soft Fan to apply one coat of FN-001 White to the top of the plate.

4. Brush water over the white glaze to then place the paper cut out on the plate. Gently press with a paper towel to remove excess water and wrinkles and to ensure the edges are sealed.

5. Use the Soft Fan to apply three coats of FN-034 Big Sky Blue over the top of the plate, brushing over the edges of the paper. Remove the paper after the last coat loses its gloss. Allow to dry.

12. Thicken SC-15 Tuxedo with AC-310 Silkscreen Medium using a palette knife to the consistency of peanut butter. With the shiny side down, screen the large leaves from DSS-0111 Botanical-Leaves as shown. Use the screen shiny side up to screen the small leaf with the branch.
