Instructions

  1. Begin with properly fired cone 04 bisque. Moisten a sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
  2. Using the Soft Fan brush with FN001 White, apply 1 coat to the front of the platter.
  3. Place the pattern over the front of the platter. Lightly trace the strawberries with a pencil. You should be able to see a faint outline in the glaze.
  4. Squeeze out 1/2 tbsp SP201 Speckled Pink-A-Boo and 1/2 tbsp SP274 Speckled Hot Tamale onto the same spot on the palette. Mix the two glazes to create a new color. Squeeze out 1 tbsp SP201 Speckled Pink-A-Boo and 1 tbsp SP274 Speckled Hot Tamale onto different parts of the palette.
  5. Using the Script Liner brush with SP201 Speckled Pink-A-Boo, SP274 Speckled Hot Tamale, and the mixed color, apply 3 coats to each strawberry. Allow glaze it dry between coats. Try to evenly space the different colors.
  6. After the glaze is dry to the touch, take the skewer and scrape decorative lines onto each of the strawberries. Do not brush off the glaze crumbs immediately or they can smear onto the platter. Wait for the glaze to dry, then gently brush off the glaze crumbs.
  7. Take AC220 Detailer Tips and 1 oz Bottle and fill the bottle halfway with SC007 Leapin’ Lizard. Use the bottle to make a stem and leaves at the top of each strawberry.
  8. Using the Detail Liner brush with SC015 Tuxedo, loosely outline each strawberry.
  9. Squeeze out Squeeze out 1/2 tbsp SP201 Speckled Pink-A-Boo and 1/2 tbsp SP274 Speckled Hot Tamale onto the same spot on the palette. Mix the two glazes to create a new color again. Using the Soft Fan brush, apply 3 coats to the back of the platter. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  10. Squeeze out 1 tbsp of SC015 Tuxedo to the palette. Take a pencil and dip the eraser into the glaze. Stamp a circle on the rim of the platter. Repeat to create a border around the front edge of the platter.
  11. Dip into NTCLR Clear One Dipping.
  12. Stilt and fire to cone 06.
