Backgrounds can make or
break your efforts when developing your
ceramic pieces.
Apply this simply Funky
Gingham background... with CFE..
Professional Studio Pigments.. Underglaze
for bisque.
Add additional Decorations
if you like...
Then.. Apply CG900
Clear Glaze or CSP03 Matt Medium for
a beautiful Matt finished surface..
|
| To Create Gingham.. you can
choose the Colors for Earth Color
Concentrates, or The Professional Studio
Pigments.. And you will need the Adapter
Cap and any sized tip..
ALL of the CFE products packaged in the
1 and 2 ounce bottles.. will accept The
Cap Adapter.. The Cap adapter, simply
threads onto the bottle. Then you thread
on a tip of your choice to the adapter
cap. With CFE every bottle converts to a
detailed applicator..
You will also need a Yellow Hydra
Sponge.

Using a Large Sharp Scissors
Follow the photo instructions for cutting
your sponge brushes..
1. Cut in half.
2. Cut a half in the angle shown.
3. Trim the pointed end of your angle cut.
4. You will then have a FLAT. It's the
flat that is loaded with paint and brushes
the surface of the ware. |

To Make a narrower sponge
Brush.. Simply cut the sponge brush you
create in steps 1 through 3 above......
and with the scissors, cut it lengthwise.
The length of the flat brush surface has
not changed.. only the width. |

| This make
your own.. sponge brush is preferred
for this funky-gingham technique rather
than a standard brush. A regular brush
often deposits access product on either
side of your stripe because of the
pressure applied while stroking..
Your sponge brush will glide along the
surface of the bisque depositing a smooth
line of PSP's or Color Concentrates.. |
| 1.Load the flat side of your
sponge brush with your choice of PSP
Color.
Create Stripes by gliding the sponge
from one edge of your piece to the other.
Move over the width of your sponge
brush.. and begin another stripe. ( you
will have a white area between each
stripe.
Work stripes in this direction around the
entire piece..
|
 |
| 2.Attach the adapter cap to
your PSP bottle.. (which ever color you
are using) Add a tip of your choice.. and
wiggle a line on either side of each
stripe.
|
 |
| 3. Turn your piece, and
repeat step one and two in the opposite
direction.
Because of your application, your
gingham with appear to have 3 different
shadings.. plus the white background.
|
|
| 1. The lightest
is where the product was only deposited
once,,
2. The medium colors value is where the
product overlapped, creating 2 coats of
color..
3. The deepest value color occurs in
the lines created with the tip.
The whole effect is very nice no matter
which of the 61 colors of PSP's that you
choose.

| Once you learn Funky
Gingham, Plaids are only a step
away..
We love the soft baby type plaid
backgrounds that can be achieved for Baby
Feet and Hand Prints..
