Instructions

  1. Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust. 
  2. Print off a small outline of a cat and the outline of a mountain that will be wide enough to across the plate. Cut the images out with scissors.  
  3. Apply SC099 Charming to the front and back of the plate. Apply 3 coats using a CB618 Soft Fan Brush. Allow time to dry.  
  4. Lay down the outline of the mountains slightly above the middle of the plate and use a damp sponge over the image to help it stick to the plate.  
  5. Repeat step 4 with the netting at the bottom of the plate and the cat will sit right above the netting.  
  6. Below the mountains use a sponge to apply 2 coats of SC092 Café Ole and 2 coats of SC039 Army Surplus. This will be applied over the cat and the netting.  
  7. Above the mountains, use a sponge to apply a fading sunset. Use SC042 Butter Me Up in the center right above the mountains, then apply SC097 Can’t Elope, SC002 Melon Choly and SC011 Blue Yonder around the rim of the plate. Apply 2 coats of each color.  
  8. Allow time to dry until the shine is gone from the glaze then remove the cat, mountains, and netting.  
  9. Fire to cone 06.
