Method:

First prepare ware for decoration by removing and rough areas that might be on the ware, using a fine piece of sanding paper. If using greenware prepare greenware for decoration and fire to witness cone 04.

Sketch or trace pattern onto the wares surface. This pattern is repeated over and over until the entire surface of the ware is covered front and back.

With a medium size round brush apply 2-3 applications of the Lacquer Red to the background around the hibiscus flowers and leaves. Also apply Red to the center section of the leaves. Pull in the stamens with a large Liner and the Canary Yellow and pull in a thin application to the center of each petal.

Outline and detail the entire design with the liner and Black.

Fill the trailing bottle with the Filigrana and apply a thin highlight tubing of white to the center of leaves and to the dots on the tips of the stamens.

Dip piece in Transparent or if using a brushing glaze apply two coats of Transparent over the entire item.

Fire the piece to witness cone 06.
