Jungle Gem Sunray Canvas

Designer: Elizabeth Carey

Instructions

  1. Begin with properly fired cone 04 bisque. Moisten a sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
  2. Using the Soft Fan with FN-001 White, apply 3 coats to the front and sides of the canvas. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  3. Use the pencil to draw a half circle on the front of the canvas. Try to center it along the bottom edge.
  4. Use MC-002 12mm Low Tack Masking Tape to make lines going from the outer edge of the half circle to the edge of the canvas. Make around 5-9 lines. Use the tape to go around the circle in sections. You are just trying to make a bottom border for your sunrays.
  5. Using the Script Liner with CG-753 Sassy Orange, CG-756 Firecracker and CG-998 Pink Pixie, apply 2 coats to each of the sections. Choose 1 color for each sunray. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  6. Remove the tape before the glaze is bone dry.
  7. Take the pencil and draw another half circle, inside your original half circle. This will be the border of the sun. You don’t want it to directly touch the rays.
  8. Using the Script Liner with CG-753 Sassy Orange, CG-756 Firecracker or CG-998 Pink Pixie apply 2 coats to the sun. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  9. Stilt and fire to cone 06.
