Tape off the glass 3-4 cm from the top, and down where the stem begins
under the bowl.
Mix the matte white with the waterbase-oil to a thin consistency.
It should drip from the palette knife. Add one drop of water and mix.
Paint the colour on with a sponge, and dab it out in a thin layer,
like frost. Remove the tape, clean with moist cotton buds (Q-Tips, cotton
swabs) and leave the paint to dry, or dry it with a hairdryer.
Now draw fine lines in the dry paint (if the paint is wet, there
will be paint collected along the lines, when it is dry it goes off like
powder, and you can blow it away.)
Make some nice small lacy patterns. If you make a mistake, like I
did with my finger, make a little cluster of flowers there after firing.
Do not try to make the pattern symmetrical, just repeat the shells, snails
and lines until you get another idea, then continue with that until a
new one shows up, or fill out with lines. It doesn't matter, it looks
nice anyway.
If you feel confident, then make the 2 bands in light yellow at top
and below the cup. Mix the paint as you do for porcelain. Or if you aren't
confident to do this in one fire, fire before you do the bands.
Mix the colours for the flowers, and pick up a bit of paint with
your wipe-out tool and make a little spiral looking like a flower. Make
a yellow and a pink up to each other, and with few leaves in between,
put them together in a border, and make some dots where you find it needed.
If you have an accident in the matte white then paint a little cluster
of flowers there too.
Mix the translucent purple and paint it on the top of the cup with
the banding brush and the banding wheel. Sponge the rest of the colour
under the foot and fire to an 022.
Good luck, it's fun.
