Instructions

Large:

  1. Begin with properly fired cone 04 bisque. Moisten a sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
  2. Use FD254 Black to outline all the facets. Allow glaze to dry.
  3. Using the Script Liner with CG981 Fruity Freckles, apply 2 coats to one of the facets on the top row of the cap. Skip 3 facets. Apply 2 coats to the next facet. They should be directly across from each other. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  4. Using the Script Liner with CG1002 Day Lily, apply 2 coats to the two facets on the top row of the cap that do not touch the facets glazed in Step #3. They should be directly across from each other. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  5. Using the Script Liner with CG981 Fruity Freckles, apply 1 coat to the remaining facets on the top of the cap. Allow glaze to dry. Using the Script Liner with CG1002 Day Lily, apply 1 coat over those facets. This will create a new color.
  6. Repeat Steps #3-5 for the second row of facets.
  7. Using the Script Liner with FN232 Sun Yellow, apply 3 coats to the small diamond facets on the top of the cap, the center faceted on the very top of the cap, and the large, upper facets on the stem. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
