Elements Light Bulb Plate
Designer: Carmen Allen
Instructions
- Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 Bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove dust.
- Use the Soft Fan to apply two coats of FN-39 Light Gray to the front of the plate.
- Use a pen or pencil and the Clay Carbon Paper to trace the light bulb design onto the plate.
- Starting on the outside, working your way toward the light bulb, use the sponge to apply two layers of SC-35 Gray Hare onto the plate. The color should fade as you get closer to the bulb
- Use the Liner and Script Liner to apply SC-97 Cant-elope to the filament, SC-16 to create the shine of the bulb and SC-15 Tuxedo to the hardware of the bulb. Once dry, condition a brush and apply a coat of AC-302 Wax Resist over these details.
- Slightly thin SC-15 Tuxedo with water and use the Liner to outline the bulb and various parts of the filament.
- Starting in the center of the bulb sponge three coats of EL-125 Sahara Sands making sure each coat recedes with each layer from the edge to create a gradient “glow”. Don’t take this all the way to the edge, but rather fade it into the SC-35 Gray Hare that you applied previously.
- Use the sponge to apply one or two coats of SC-15 Tuxedo to the edge of the plate to create a gradient.
- Use the Soft Fan to apply three coats of FN-009 Black to the back of the plate.
- Fire to cone 06.
