1. Draw freehand with a water-soluble pen or trace onto your ornament.

Cover the fairy with Marci's Blue Masking Fluid (or regular red resist). Leave some open spots in the wings. Put a few dots of resist on background.

When dry, cover the front of the ornament with a dark luster. (I used Blue Storm by Med-Mar. Black would be nice also. )

Be sure you peel off all the resist before you fire.

Fire 019 or hotter if you choose.

Run a band of liquid bright gold on the band around the edge of the dark luster.

Fire.

3. Cover everything including sides and back of ornament with MOP(Mother of Pearl) or opal luster. Be sure you shake all of your lusters well before applying to get the maximum colors.

I apply the opal in swirls using my finger.

Fire

4. Define wings with White Lace penwork. Also you can pen a little along the outside edge of the fairy.

Pen White Lace where you see highlights on the picture. Put gold dots cascading form her raised hand, or pen a starburst as in the picture.

Put a few gold dots on her wings.

Fire.5. Cover the fairy with a little oil (any kind). Dust silver white metallic powder over her by dipping a soft brush in the powder and shaking the brush over the oiled fairy. Don't' get too much on her, you want to be able to see the colors and White Lace penwork underneath. Blow away any excess powder.

Pen your name on the side of the ornament (over the opal luster)

Using household glue, place tiny lump jewels on background. I used 3 transparent colors... red, bright green and light blue.

Fire the ornament flat, so the jewels won't fall off before they can fuse with the china.
