Steps:
1. Wipe ware with dampened sponge to
remove dust.
2. Measure 1¾? up from bottom of vase and
make a light line with pencil circling
circumference of vase.
3. Place tape along the top edge of the line
circling the vase.
4. Shake bottle of the Light Pink glaze. Pour
some into the vase and roll around to glaze
the bottom and sides. Pour out excess into a
clean container.
5. Using the No. 6 Fan Glaze brush, paint 3
coats of Light Pink inside top of vase and
the bottom portion of vase below tape. Let
dry between each coat. Once dry, remove
tape.
6. Pour puddle of Black glaze on foil. Using
the No. 4 Liner brush, paint Black glaze up
to the edge of Light Pink at the base. Then
use No. 6 Fan Glaze brush to paint Black on
the remainder of the vase up to the top. Let
dry and paint two additional coats, letting
dry between each application. Let
completely dry.

the black and pink areas meet on bottom of
