Designer: Elizabeth Carey

Instructions

  1. Begin with properly fired cone 04 bisque. Moisten a sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
  2. Place the pattern over the tile. Slide AC-230 Clay Carbon Paper under the pattern. Trace with the pencil.
  3. Remove the pattern.
  4. Take FD-254 Black Licorice and outline the pattern on the tile. Allow glaze to dry.
  5. Using the Script Liner with SC-6 Sunkissed, apply a puddle coat to the sections of the outer wings on the large butterfly.
  6. Using the Script Liner with SC-9 Jaded, apply a puddle coat to the body of the large butterfly.
  7. Using the Script Liner with SC-75 Orange-A-Peel, apply a puddle coat to the sections of the outer wings on the small butterfly.
  8. Using the Script Liner with SC-76 Cara-Bein Blue, apply a puddle coat to the body of the small butterfly.

  10. Using the Script Liner with CG-997 Seafoam, apply 2 coats to the background. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  11. Squeeze out around 1 tsp of SC-9 Jaded onto the palette. Dip the sponge in the glaze and sponge around the edge of the background. Go in around an inch from the edge.
