Technique #9
Mayco Specialty Technique #9

Begin with properly fired cone 04 bisque. Wipe bisque with a moist sponge to remove any dust and moisten the bisque. Pull the lace around the vase, holding tightly against the vase. Use a dry sponge or brush, loaded with Snowfall, and drag into the lace. Repeat over the lace several times, building up a layer of Snowfall in the lace design. Continue around vase.

Remove the lace before the Snowfall dries. Allow the Snowfall to dry.

Using the soft fan brush, apply 3 even coats of Patina over the entire vase. Glaze the inside of the vase with the same glaze. Stilt and fire to cone 06.

Note: The two vases above were done using the same technique and different Elements colors.
They were fired to cone 04 - by mistake!

Note: Never stay up until 4:30 am, then get up at 8:30 to fire!
Always check that you've got the proper cone in your hand before putting it in your kiln sitter. This could have been a real disaster. And - yes, even old timers make mistakes.
