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.

8.       Apply Shimmering Silver to door hinges and handles and to stripes of marquis.  Apply Copper to remaining areas as shown in photo.

Please note:   Casters - If you would like the marquis to have a flashing back light, you need to cut a hole in the front of the building before attaching the marquis.  It is also advisable to cut out the letters and drill light holes prior to making the attachment.
