Instructions

• Newspaper
• Toothpicks

1. Put down a thick layer of newspapers or a folded hand towel, forming a cushion. The thicker the better.

2. Cover that with a flat sheet of aluminum foil.

3. Mix 1 part Gare Magic Flow with 2 parts Gare Super White Glaze in a bowl or small cup.

4. Pour the mixture into a puddle at least the size of your project on the foil.

5. Dribble your choice of accent-color glaze in coin-size drops on the puddle. Swirl the color through the white glaze with a toothpick - avoid mixing it. It should appear streaky.

6. Hold the bisque over the puddle and rock it from one end to the other so that the whole area is coated.

7. Lift the bisque straight up out of the puddle and keep it horizontal for a few seconds so that it doesn't run.

8. Repeat this process with all of the surfaces until the whole object is covered. Let it dry for about an hour. You're now ready to fire.

Tips & Warnings

• You can rush the drying with a hair dryer set on low heat.
