This is like getting three building for the price of one!
It reminds us of the classic down town area of most old towns where you can go
to buy everything from a few pounds of your favorite deli slices, get your hair
done or buy that special ring for you-know-who.

General Directions:
Begin with properly cleaned and fired 06 bisque. Thin down White and apply over
entire piece to get into all detail. When dry, apply another coat of undiluted
White. Allow to dry. Apply Hyacinth Blue in small areas wiping back for
highlights until entire piece is covered. Dampen a soft cloth with Solvent to
wipe back further highlights. Spray with Porcelain Mist to set TL. Reminder:
In this technique, sometimes more than 1 coat of TL is necessary so between each
coat, the color must be sprayed in order not to lift the first layer.
