Clean heavily cast greenware. Trace on pattern using Clay Carbon or Mylar Carbon. Sketch on the irregular line on shoulder of vase.

Incise the design elements on the pattern using a scrafitto tool. Incise each petal, leaf and the poppy centers, not just the outlines. Irregular line on shoulder should be incised also. Dust off chips, and lightly sponge vase.

Dip a round brush in Dishwashing liquid and squeeze out excess. Cover the black glaze area about 1 inch back from where it joins the Satellite with Latex Mask. Also, apply a generous coat of masking over the design. Wash brush immediately.

Use your sponge brush or silk sponge to sponge on three good coats of T102 Primitive Textural glaze to the vase, except for the areas where you plan to use the black glaze. Allow an hour between coats for drying time. Remove masking as soon as the shine is gone from the last coat of Primitive. Dry the vase overnight, then fire to cone 05.

Apply 3 coats of RG701 Sunset Red to the poppies.  Apply 3 coats LF817 Christmas Green to the leaves, centers and stems. Alternate between these 2 glazes to allow sufficient drying time on both colors.

Trace or sketch the poppies and leaf designs over the last coat of glaze, as all shading is done on the unfired gloss glaze. 

Mix TU658 Cobalt Black translucent underglaze to brushing consistency on your palette. Condition a #8 square shader with Antiquing Medium. This will allow you to paint long, smooth brushstrokes. Shade the poppies, leaves, centers and ect. as indicated on pattern. Wash brush often and recondition in the antiquing medium before loading with the black underglaze. This will insure clean, crisp shading. Change to your #4 liner brush, condition with the Antique Medium , outline all parts of the design and put in stamens, also with the black. 

Clean palette and place about a teaspoon of RG702 Sunrise Orange glaze on the palette. Load a medium size round brush with the Sunrise and apply to the edges of all blossoms. Roll the brush so the color is very heavy at the edge, and tapers off as it reaches center of the petal. One coat will be sufficient and it need not appear even, as the orange will blend into the red during firing.

Roll thinned LF802 Black Patent gloss glaze to inside of base and pour out excess. Apply 3 coats of the black glaze to the neck as shown in photo.

Fire to cone 06 in a well vented kiln.

Mold shown in photo is Crest C813.
