Instructions

  1. Pour CD022 Pumpkin/Sunflower Topper mold ¼” thick. Refer to casting instructions.
  2. Once it is firm enough to handle, use the sponge to smooth down casting lines.
  3. Fire to cone 04.
  4. Squeeze around 1 TBS of SG-401 Black onto the palette. Thin slightly with water, so that it is easy to brush. Using the Script Liner, apply to all of the details on the topper. Dip the sponge in water and squeeze out the excess water. Wipe the topper to remove glaze from the high areas, leaving it only in the details.
  5. Using the Script Liner with EL-132 Rust Red, apply 2 coats to the creases on the pumpkins and the stems. Allow glaze to dry between coats. Dip the sponge in water and squeeze out the excess water. Wipe the excess glaze off of the pumpkins, leaving the glaze in the creases.
  6. Using the Script Liner with EL-133 Autumn, apply 2 coats to the pumpkins using vertical strokes.
  7. Using the Detail Liner with EL-128 Wheat, apply 3 coats to the sunflowers. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  8. Using the Detail Liner with EL-142 Grass, apply 3 coats to the leaves. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  9. Using the Script Liner with El-148 Wheat, apply 3 coats to the straw at the base of the pumpkins. Use the Soft Fan to apply 3 coats to the bottom and inside of the topper. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  10. Dip the sponge into EL-132 Rust Red and sponge off the excess onto the palette. Sponge the center of the sunflowers.
  11. Fire to cone 06.
