Easter Trees

Pink Marble Funky Tree

1. Pour CD-1095 Funky Tree mold ¼” thick. Refer to casting instructions.
2. Once it is firm enough to handle, use the sponge to smooth down casting lines.
3. Use the X-ACTO knife to cut out a hole in the bottom, back for the pinch light. It should be around 1” in diameter.
4. Use the ¼” punch to make holes for the lights.
5. Use a damp sponge to smooth down any rough edges.
6. Fire to cone 04.
7. Using the Soft Fan with SC-16 Cotton Tail, apply 1 coat to the tree.
8. Fill each of the Dixie cups half full with SC-1 Pink-A-Boo, SC-16 Cotton Tail and SC-70 Pink-A-Dot (1 glaze per cup). Thin with water until it is easily poured from the cup.
9. Over a sink or trash can, pour half of each glaze over the tree and rotate. You want to make fast back and forth movements while you pour. This will create lines and dots of glaze all over the tree. Pour the rest of the glazes over the tree and rotate until you achieve the desired look.
10. After the piece is dry, make sure to clean out any glaze in the holes.
11. Fire to cone 06.
12. Glue the swirl lights into the holes using epoxy.
13. Insert the pinch light.
