Instructions

  1. Begin with properly fired cone 04 bisque. Moisten a sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
  2. Place AC-230 Clay Carbon Paper over the front of the plate. Place the pattern on top and trace with the pencil. You can also draw your own Georgia O’Keeffe inspired flower. You just need to choose a flower and draw it “zoomed in” on the center.
  3. Squeeze out around 1 TBS of SC-1 Pink-A-Boo, SC-16 Cotton Tail, SC-24 Dandelion, SC-88 Tu Tu Tango and SC-97 Cant-elope onto the palette.
  4. Using the Script Liner with SC-16 Cotton tail, apply 1 coat to the inner half of 1 petal (choose from the 5 in the foreground). While the glaze is still wet, use the same brush with SC-1 Pink-A-Boo to blend out to the edge of the petal. While the glaze is still wet, use the same brush with SC-88 Tu Tu Tango to blend color into the outer edge of the petal. Repeat for a second coat. Then repeat for all 5 petals.
  5. Using the Script Liner with SC-97 Cant-elope, make small accents of color on the petals. Try to concentrate them on the outer edge and borders of the petals.
  6. Using the Script Liner with SC-88 Tu Tu Tango, apply 1 coat to the inner half of 1 petal (choose from the 5 in the background). While the glaze is still wet, use the same brush with SC-1 Pink-A-Boo to blend out to the edge of the petal. Repeat for a second coat. Then repeat for all 5 petals.
  7. Using the Script Liner with SC-97 Cant-elope, apply 1 coat around the outer edge of the center of the flower. While the glaze is still wet, use the same brush with SC-24 Dandelion to blend to the center. Repeat for a second coat.
  8. Dip the end of your brush handle into SC-16 Cotton Tail. Press onto the center of the flower. Repeat until it’s full of white dots.
  9. Using the Detail Liner with SC-15 Tuxedo, outline the center and petals of the flower.
  10. Using the Script Liner with SC-15 Tuxedo, apple 2 coats to the background on the front of the plate. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  11. Using the Soft Fan with SC-15 Tuxedo, apply 2 coats to the back of the plate. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  12. Dip into NT-CLR Clear One Dipping glaze.
  13. Stilt and fire to cone 06.
