Directions

  1. Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
  2. Cut the paper around the rabbit pattern so there is a border about ¾ inch. Then cut out the rabbit this will create a negative space. You will use the negative space of the cut out.
  3. Punch out six 1” inch circles; you will use the negative space from these punch-outs. Cut the paper around the punch so there is a border about ¾ inch.
  4. After aligning and placing the cut out rabbit and circles, with a pencil, trace the rabbit and the circles onto the MB-889 8" Asian Flair Square Plate.
  5. Using a CB-604 #4 Soft Fan, apply 1 coat of S-2101 Crystal Clear to rabbit and circle traced areas. Allow to dry. Re-wet with water and stick down the paper cut outs aligning with the traced rabbit and circles.
  6. Using CB-604 #4 Soft Fan, apply 3 coats of SC-41 Brown Cow to the rabbit area. Allow glaze to lose its shine between coats.
  7. Using a dry BT-910 Synthetic Sponge, pounce 1 coat of SC-14 Java Bean on top of the SC-41 Brown Cow in the rabbit area. Allow to dry.
  8. Using AC-213 Large Sponge on a Stick, pounce SG-409 Bright Green onto one of the flowers on ST-111 Four Flowers Stamp. Using AC-213 Large Sponge on a Stick, pounce SG-410 Bright Blue to another flower on ST-111 Four Flowers Stamp. Stamp flowers onto the rabbit.
  9. Using AC-213 Large Sponge on a Stick, pounce various Designer Liner colors onto a flower on ST-111 Four Flowers Stamp. Stamp flower onto the rabbit.
  10. Using AC-213 Large Sponge on a Stick, pounce SC-15 Tuxedo onto another flower on ST-111 Four Flowers Stamp. Stamp flower onto the rabbit. Repeat with SC-15 Tuxedo to stamp on additional flowers, if desired.
  11. Remove the paper cut out of the rabbit.
  12. Using CB-106 #6 Script Liner, apply SC-27 Sour Apple to the center of the circles (center of flowers). Add SC-11 Blue Yonder to the CB-106 #6 Script Liner and finish filling in the circles. Repeat for 2 coats, allow glaze to lose its shine between coats. Allow to dry.
  13. Remove paper cut outs of the circles.
  14. Using SG-404 Blue, draw petals around each of the flower centers, creating 3 rows of petals.
  15. Using SG-410 Bright Blue, fill in the petals, leaving a little space to add SG-409 Bright Green to highlight the petals, as desired. Be sure not to apply the Designer Liner too thick, or it will peel off.
  16. Using SG-401 Black, outline the centers of each flower.
  17. Using SG-404 Blue, create dots within the outline of the centers of each flower.
  18. Using SG-405 Green, draw leaves to the flowers and add lines for veins. Allow to dry.
  19. Using CB-106 #6 Script Liner, apply 2 puddle coats of SC-716 Pagoda Green to fill in the leaves.
  20. Using CB-604 #4 Soft Fan, apply 3 coats of FN-213 Saffire Blue to the back of MB-889 8" Asian Flaire Square Plate. Allow glaze to lose its shine between coats.
  21. Apply clear glaze of choice. Note: Do not dip as the crystals from the glaze can come off and alter the effect.
  22. Stilt and fire to shelf cone 06/05.
