Paint: Nowell’s Showcase Colors - Artstrokes   Clear Glaze

Technique:  Sherry L. Porter 

  These fun shaped, blank canvas design dishes, are suitable
for many different types of techniques.  You can decorate
them with decals, solid glaze colors or choose a "funky"
design, as shown here.  They will be great used for snacks
at your next "Texas Hold-em" party!!!

These multifunctional pieces were decorated with our fun NEW “ARTSTROKES”.  You will find these underglaze colors-for-bisque great for water-color type effects, antiquing, design work, and just plain ole’ painting. 

To cone 04 Bisque:

STEP 1. Using a pencil, draw in the appropriate card shape to the pieces (club's on club, diamond's on diamond etc.).  As a rule of thumb, it is a good idea to keep the # of shapes you apply "odd" rather than "even".  7 shapes on each piece were uses here.
STEP 2. Apply 4 coats of #403 Candy Apple to the hearts and diamonds.
STEP 3. Apply 3 coats of #401 Licorice to the clubs and spades.
STEP 4. Using the opposite color, make 7 swirls of color.  Load brush before each application, as you will only apply 1 coat.
STEP 5. The dots, 3 sets of 3 dots, will go on all 4 pieces. Using a stylus, dip into paint then onto the piece, re-load before each dot.
STEP 6. Sponge on a coat of #403 Candy Apple, to the edges, sides and bottom of the pieces.
STEP 7. Lightly sponge #401 Licorice over that.  Not too much, as it will cover all the red!
STEP 8. Allow time for the paint to dry.  Carefully apply a flowing coat of GL100 Ultra Clear Glaze; careful to not "open" the colors you have applied.  Follow with a second coat of Ultra Clear Glaze.
STEP 9. Fire as directed on label.
