Teal Flower Tray

Designer: Elizabeth Carey

Instructions

  1. Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust. 
  2. Take MC001 Low Tack Masking Tape and place a long piece horizontally down the center of the center of the tray. This will divide the tray into 2 equal halves. Take 2 shorter pieces and place them vertically on the tray. Try to evenly space them so you create 3 equal vertical sections. This will create 6 equal sections on the tray.  
  3. Cut out the flower patterns.  
  4. Using the Soft Fan with FN001 White, apply 1 coat to the center of each of the 6 sections. Large enough to fit a flower.  
  5. Take a flower and dip the back in water. Place in the center of one of the 6 sections. Press the edges with a damp sponge. This will help keep the edges down. Using the Soft Fan with FN001 White, apply 1 coat over the edges of the flower. Repeat for the other 5 flowers.  
  6. Squeeze out around 1 TBS of SP209 Speckled Jaded and SP254 Speckled Vanilla Dip onto the palette. Squeeze out ½ TBS of SP209 Speckled Jaded and ½ TBS of SP254 Speckled Vanilla Dip onto the same spot on the palette. Mix to create a third color.  
  7. Using the Soft Fan with SP209 Speckled Jaded, apply 2 coats to 2 of the squares. Apply it over the flowers. Allow glaze to dry between coats.  
  8. Using the Soft Fan with SP254 Speckled Vanilla Dip, apply 2 coats to 2 of the remaining squares. Apply it over the flowers. Allow glaze to dry between coats.  
  9. Using the Soft Fan with your mixed color, apply 2 coats to the remaining 2 squares. Apply it over the flowers. Allow glaze to dry between coats.  
  10. After the shine has left the glaze, remove the flowers and tape. 
  11. Using the Script Liner with SP209 Speckled Jaded, SP254 Speckled Vanilla Dip, and the mixed color, apply a circle of glaze to the center of each flower. Repeat for a second coat. 
  12. Allow glaze to dry. 
  13. Using the Soft Fan with FN216 Sea Glass, apply 3 coats to the front and back of the tray. Allow glaze to dry between coats. 
  14. Stilt and fire to shelf cone 06.
