Peanut's Pet Bowl

Instructions

Begin with soft fired stoneware bisque. Moisten a sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
Using the Soft Fan with SW-501 white Gloss, apply 4 coats to the outside of the bowl. Allow glaze to dry between coats. Make sure your final coat is just dry to the touch when moving onto the next step. You will not be able to trace your pattern if the glaze is bone dry.
Cut along the edges of the pattern, so that it fits around the outside of the bowl. You will need to tape the two pieces together to form one long pattern. Tape the two ends with a black vertical line. Place the pattern around the bowl and tape the seam together so that it stays in place. Trace over the pattern with the pencil. Check to make sure you are using the correct amount of pressure. You should be able to see your lines, without going down to the bisque. Remove the pattern. (Note: you can substitute a different name in the pattern, do this before you put the pattern on the bowl)
Using the Script Liner with SW-506 Bright Blue Gloss, SW-507 Bright Green Gloss and SW-510 Blue Gloss, apply 2 coats to the paw prints. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
Using the Detail Liner with SW-508 Black Gloss, apply 1 coat to the name.
Pour out around 1 TSP of SW-508 Black Gloss onto the palette. Dip the eraser on the pencil into the glaze and press onto the bowl to make the decorative dots.
Using the Soft Fan with SW-506 Bright Blue Gloss, apply 4 coats to the inside of the bowl. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
Fire to cone 6.
