Instructions

  1. Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.

  3. Using a pencil, trace the pattern on the tile.
  4. Cut pieces of the Jute Twine the length of the sides of each petal.

  7. When all the petals are complete, take a piece of paper towel, lay the paper towel on the tile, and press to secure the jute twine to the tile and remove any excess glaze.
  8. Using the CB-106 #4 Soft Fan, apply 1 coat of SC-27 Sour Apple to the background areas of the tile.
