Fired Snow adds dimensional texture that simulates the look of snow when fired. It looks like really thick paint before it's fired, but becomes porous during firing giving it a light, fluffy snow-like texture.
How to use Duncan's Fired Snow:
- Use on shelf cone 04 bisque that has been painted and clear glazed.
- Stir Fired Snow well to smooth consistency. Don't add water.
- Apply 1 or more heavy coats of snow over unfired clear glaze.
- Fire your piece to cone 06.
- Water clean up.
- You can use a variety of tools to apply the snow including a palette knife, brush, sponge, ice cream stick or squeeze bottle. I used the angled end of a brush handle to apply Snow to Roxy, then used my finger to smooth it over.
- Apply it up to 3/4 inches thick for extra dimension!
- Snow may move slightly during firing.
- Fired Snow can simulate more than just snow; use it for ocean foam, clouds, etc.
This "Carrots for Reindeer" plate was created using #5727 Light Bulb Tag-Alongs in an out-of-the-box way! Tag-Alongs don't always have to be what they seem. In this sample, I painted the Light Bulbs as carrots and reindeer ears! Remember to stretch you imagination and think out side of the box!
