Instructions

  1. Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust. 
  2. Draw a rectangle starting from the top then to the middle of the tile, add a frame around the rectangle to make it look more like a window.  
  3. Apply 3 coats UG051 China White in the middle of your rectangle. Apply with a CB308 Flat Shader. 
  4. Add a pinch of AC310 Silkscreen Medium to EL143 Cactus Flower, mix with a palette knife until the mixer is as smooth as peanut butter.  
  5. Cut around the image the cat and place it smooth side down over the UG051 China White.  
  6. Using your finger apply the silkscreen mixer over the image of the cat, then remove the silkscreen. 
  7.  Apply 1 coat of EL127 Rose Granite onto the cat’s nose and one coat of EL153 Caribbean Blue to the cat’s eyes. Apply with an AB701 Detailed Brush.   
  8. Apply 3 coats of EL135 Rare Earth to the frame around the window. Apply with a CB308 
  9. Draw jagged edges around the window then apply 3 coats of EL144 Dark Amethyst. Apply with an AB701 Detailed Brush.  
  10. On the edges of the window seal draw two simple flowerpots with long vines. Apply 3 coats of EL153 Caribbean Blue to the flowerpots and then apply 3 coats of EL131 Turtle Shell to the vines. Apply with an AB701 Detailed Brush.   
  11. Behind the cat apply 3 cats of EL153 Caribbean Blue to make it look like the cat is sitting on a pillow. Apply with an AB701 Detailed Brush.  
  12. With your finger apply EL144 Dark Amethyst randomly in the background, then over top apply 2 coats S2101 to only the background and where you randomly apply the EL144 Dark Amethyst. Apply with a RB106 Script Liner. The S2101 will change the color and make it appear lighter.  
  13. Allow to dry then fire to cone 06.
