Winter Gnome Plate

Designer: Elizabeth Carey

Instructions

  1. Begin with properly fired cone 04 bisque. Moisten a sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
  2. Place AC-230 Clay Carbon Paper over the front of the plate. Trace the pattern using a pencil.
  3. Using the RB-106 #6 Script Liner with SC-26 Green Thumb, SC-27 Sour Apple, SC-48 Camel Back, SC-60 Silver Lining, SC-73 Candy Apple Red and SC-87 Ruby Slippers, apply 2 coats to the corresponding sections of the pattern. Refer to the pattern.
    1. The hat has two colors: SC-27 Sour Apple with SC-26 Green Thumb shading around the edges.
  4. Using the RB-110 10/0 Detail Liner with SC-15 Tuxedo, outline each section of the pattern and add decorative lines.
  5. Use the RB-106 #6 Script Liner to make a string going around the antlers and letters for the lights.
  6. Squeeze around 1 TSP of SC-26 Green Thumb, SC-27 Sour Apple, SC-73 Candy Apple Red and SC-87 Ruby Slippers onto the palette. Use the eraser on the pencil to dip into the glaze and create dots on the “string” for the lights. Don’t make a dot on a letter if it’s the same color, or you won’t be able to see it. Alternate between the reds and greens.
  7. Using the RB-144 #4 Soft Fan with SC-15 Tuxedo, apply 2 coats to the back of the plate. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  8. Using the RB-144 #4 Soft Fan with SG-704 Speckta-Clear Peppermint, apply 2 coats to the front of the plate. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  9. Fire to cone 06.
