Flying Cobblestone

Instructions

Roll a coat of Black Rapid Roll on the interior of your shape. Apply three coats of Black Foundation to the exterior of the bisque shape.
Trace over the dragonfly or butterfly design while the black is still wet to make a slight impression of the outline.
Apply two to three coats of White Cobblestone to the dragonfly and butterfly wings, body and tail. Three coats will give you a bigger, chunkier look, and two coats will give you a small crackle pattern.
Before the Cobblestone completely dries, apply Stroke & Coat colors of your choice to the wings. Only apply one coat and blend the colors where they overlap.
1. Do not overbrush the colors to the point they soften and move the Cobblestone or mix with the Cobblestone. Over brushing or thick application of the color can affect the Cobblestone pattern. It is also important that the color be applied before the Cobblestone gets dry and flaky. Applying color at this point can cause the Cobblestone to come off.
Apply a coat of Wax Resist over the Cobblestone areas before they are completely dry. This will help hold the product in place until it can be placed in the kiln. The wax will burn away in firing.
Add dots of white French Dimension to the background area.
Stilt and fire to cone 06.
